Slurry tanker design has remained relatively consistent over the years, although improvements in pump technology mean that modern trailed units may be better equipped to manage high-capacity loads. The storage volume of these machines can be equally variable, with models offering 5000 litres to 19,000 litres or more for those looking to buy second-hand.

Slurry tankers can have one or two axles, with higher-capacity bodies requiring added physical durability for the sake of safety and longevity. The tank itself can be made using steel plate - the thickness of which will determine the overall robustness of the machine. The type of paint on the exterior and the coating on the interior will also be important to extending lifespan and increasing hardiness.

Some used slurry tankers will come with additional attachments, such as a length of suction hose which can be used to collect and deposit material. This may be beneficial, since it will ensure compatibility and eliminate the need to invest in additional accessories when procuring a slurry tanker. Many models will offer multiple fill points arranged around the body for ease of access whatever the location of the trailer. And you will need to examine these to check that they are well maintained and operational if a used model is on your wish list.

It is also important to check the specifications of the pump and assess how quickly and effectively it can pump material into and out of the tanker. With many slurry tankers available, you should have no trouble selecting a good unit.
