Our TAV slurry transport vehicle (tanker trailer with front vehicle) has successfully passed the EU type approval. This approval represents an important milestone for the company and opens up new possibilities for farmers throughout Europe to use efficient slurry logistics.
The EU type approval makes it possible to register the TAV throughout the EU with immediate effect, without the need for further individual national approvals. The TAV is optimised for use on farms and for road transport, and with its high transport capacity, it offers a solution that meets the increasing demands of professional farmers and contractors.
‘With the EU type approval of the TAV, we have taken a decisive step towards making our slurry technology fit for the future,’ explains Dr. Hendrik Schuchardt, Managing Director of garant Kotte. ’Our goal is to support customers throughout Europe with reliable and efficient transport solutions. The TAV is an important part of this strategy.’
The all-terrain TAV offers numerous outstanding features for transporting your fertiliser between the yard and the field with the tractor. The permissible total weight is 33 or 34 tonnes due to the front-end load transfer. Standard-compliant baffle plates in accordance with DIN EN 707 ensure a high level of safety on the road. The tank capacity can be selected from 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 cubic metres. Optimum driving comfort is achieved by a low-profile design and air suspension with BPW axles.
When filling, the complete hydraulic power of the tractor is available for the filling aid, as the vacuum compressor with the patented rotary feedthrough is mechanically driven. Depending on requirements, the docking funnels can be positioned at the top and/or bottom of the rear wall of the container in DN 200. An optionally selectable suction arm can be used to fill the TAV quickly and conveniently. The container can be emptied quickly, cleanly and conveniently using a transfer pipe. An optional drum operation rounds off the extensive technical features.
