Useful new options for slurry tankers
TYRE and drawbar options for Hi-Spec Engineerings mid-range 1600 and 2000gal single axle Super Vacuum slurry tankers have now been introduced.
Claimed to offer the benefits of tandem axle running gear – but at less cost – the tankers can now be equipped with wide 64in diameter wheels. Two sizes are available: 23.1 x 26 or 28.1 x 26 with the wheels set into cutouts in the sides of the machines to reduce overall width.

Large wheels – 23.1×26 or 28.1x 26 – and a sprung drawbar become options for Hi-Spec Engineerings range of slurry tankers.
