VM Tarm – other models: the collective page of Danish tank and silo semi-trailers outside the named ranges, including milk and slurry tankers, 5.3 to 12 t unladen weight, 20 to 58 t gross weight

This page gathers the VM Tarm semi-trailers the register could not assign to a named range. The manufacturer is based in Tarm, Denmark, and builds tank and silo semi-trailers; alongside general tanker versions the model list includes milk tank and milk trailer types and one type listed as a slurry semi-trailer, underlining the brand's focus on liquid and agricultural haulage.

The register lists 28 versions here with unladen weights from 5,340 to 12,030 kg and gross vehicle weights from 20,000 to 58,000 kg. Lengths run from 8,590 to 15,780 mm, widths from 2,460 to 2,550 mm.

Tank and silo semi-trailers of this kind move milk, slurry and other liquid goods between farms, dairies and biogas plants, and compete in the north European market with other Scandinavian and central European tanker builders.

When buying used, tanker semi-trailers deserve attention to the condition of the tank shell, seals, valves and pump connections, corrosion on the frame and axle mounts, and the function of the brake system and overrun coupling; on milk tankers the cooling and insulation technology also needs checking, and older tank shells are worth inspecting for pitting corrosion on the inside, together with the mounting points of the ladders and hatches. Spare parts generally come through the manufacturer or workshops specialising in agricultural equipment.

What to check before buying

  • Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
  • Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
  • Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
  • Compare the chassis number with the papers.
  • Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
