Renovation and relocation of feed tank
At VM Tarm, we have just completed a comprehensive renovation and relocation of an existing tank system for Christensen Transport AS in Norway.
The project included a complete relocation of the tank system to a new Scania chassis, where a number of technical upgrades and improvements have been made, all with a focus on reliability, functionality, and optimal weight distribution.
Completed solution – customized in detail
In connection with the relocation, the tank system has been carefully adapted to the new chassis, including:
- Optimized placement based on load calculations
- New chassis fasteners and rubber mounts
- Complete documentation and approval from Norwegian authorities
At the same time, existing components have been reused where it adds value; among other things, piping in stainless steel, which has been electropolished to ensure long life and high quality.
Upgraded equipment and functionality
The tank system has been upgraded with a series of new components and solutions, including:
- New bottom valves in cast aluminum
- Updated compressed air system with EBRO butterfly valves
- Relocation and upgrading of blower unit
- New floor plate in aluminum focusing on a nicely closed chassis while still ensuring easy access and serviceability.
- Custom rear bumper with built-in Strands lamps.
- Double chimney behind the driver's cab.
- Trux wildlife guard and roof bar mounted with 10 pcs. OZZ remote lights.
- New beautifully padded cabin in white and red leather, made by FL-Buhr.
- Equipped with hidden storage boxes between coverings between the rear fenders.
Additionally, new hose pipes, hose pipe boxes, and a number of details have been installed, contributing to a more efficient and user-friendly solution in daily operations.
Focus on durability and finish
The project also includes a number of visual and functional improvements:
- New glide rails and seals on manholes
- Painting of selected components in Ivory White and Vermelho Chili red
- Integration of lights, profile tubes, and details with a focus on both safety and expression
The result is a solution that not only works optimally – but also looks sharp on the road.
