Tank semi-trailers have become commonplace in farming - particularly because of the high-degree of specialisation and simultaneous size increase that farming businesses have undergone in recent years. The tank semi-trailers (TSA) 30,000 allows agricultural contractors to transport farmyard manure quickly and economically, particularly over long distances. Thanks to its compact design, the tanker trailer, which WIKING is releasing as a 1:32 miniature with a black chassis and matching black tank, is the perfect companion piece in a true-to-the-original combination with the authentic MAN TGS 18.510 4x4. Operating from their head offices in Rieste, Lower Saxony, agricultural machinery manufacturer Kotte delivers a high level of operational reliability with the TSA of the Garant series while, at the same time, providing high-quality and tailor-made equipment for efficient and economical work flows. The bearing load transmission from the front end to the tractor unit combined with the air suspension allow for a permissible gross weight of nearly 34 tonnes. As the vacuum compressor is powered mechanically by the patented rotary union, the loading aid can utilise the full hydraulic power of the tractor unit. The charging hopper found on the rear panel is positioned such that the liquid manure can be transferred to the spreading vehicle with great efficiency. A pump sump ensures that the tank is trained completely.

All functions can be simulated true to scaleThe tailgate can, of course, be moved up all the way to allow for the effortless unloading of the cargo. When the skip is closed, a lever on the rear can be used to release the discharge opening to improve the dosing of fine bulk goods. Moreover, the supports in the front area of the semi-trailer can be variably extended, ensuring that the uncoupled semi-trailer will be propped up with the same stability as its real-life sibling. As you can expect from WIKING, the wheel chocks have been given particular attention. They have been inserted on either side of the semi-trailer and can be placed in position under the wheels when necessary.
