Monocoque Tank on Universal Chassis
JOSKIN hydrocleaners are equipped with a so-called "universal" chassis on which all stresses are concentrated. It is designed on the basis of the experience gained by JOSKIN in the manufacture of slurry tankers and tipping trailers. Thus, the chassis not only serves as a load-bearing structure for the tank, but also houses the telescopic tipping cylinder on a double oscillating frame (anti-torsion effect). The tank of the hydrocleaners has a robust and lightweight design with a low centre of gravity for an excellent weight/maneuverability ratio. The bodies are made of 5 mm thick hot-dip galvanised high tensile steel and comply with the EN707 safety standard (anti-pitching). The bodies have a monocoque structure and consists of different compartments inside depending on the model and volume of the tanker. In fact, the H6000 hydrocleaner has a compartment of 2,000 l of fresh water for 4,000 l of mud, while the H8400 model offers 2,500 l of fresh water for 5,900 l of mud. Galvanised brackets and belts reinforce the structure of the tipping tank. As standard, the tanks of the hydrocleaners are equipped with a rear hydraulic lever control for opening the rear wall and tipping the tank (ideal for quickly removing residues and sediments, such as stones, sand, etc.).
