Overview
SA-S tanker are non-recessed vacuum tankers where the wheels are located outside of the barrel. With capacities from 800 to 2000 gallons (3,637 to 9,092 litres), the SA-S tanker range is designed to meet the needs of smaller farmers. The SA-S range is fitted with an agricultural axle as standard as this range is particularly suited to farmers with little road-work and for carrying smaller capacities.
The SA-S tanker range is hand welded to give one of the strongest finishes for a vacuum tanker. All of the SA-S range is manufactured using 6mm high quality British steel. Collared dished ends are inserted into the barrel, along with the addition of anti-implosion rings to give a strong finished barrel. All of the SA-S models sit on folded supports the entire length of the barrel to distribute the load evenly to the chassis. This reduces stress and strain on the barrel and helps to minimise weak points that may occur over time. The chassis of the SA-S range is made from large channel iron with additional reinforcement in key areas. The chassis is complete with an A-frame drawbar to allow tight turning circles in and around farm yards.
Jurop Pump
A Jurop 9000 litre vacuum pump is fitted as standard across the SA-S tanker range. Jurop is a high quality pump designed and manufactured in a state of the art factory in Italy. Jurop pumps are recognised as the fastest and most powerful vacuum pumps available today. Each pump is assembled according to Jurop’s methodical standards and is carefully tested and checked. PTO driven as standard, Jurop pumps provide the most efficient method of filling or emptying your slurry tank. Jurop pumps have a worldwide reputation for quality and minimal maintenance. Parts and service are available locally from your nearest HiSpec dealer, and the premium build of Jurop pumps ensures an extremely long working life. Additional pump improvement options can be viewed on our Options page.
Tyres
The SA-S range of tanker and tyres are designed for speeds ≤ 25km/h. The most common choice of tyre for farmers is the 550/60-22.5 BKT FL648 flotation tyre as the weight of the tanker is spread over a greater area. The flotation tyre allows the tanker to float over the ground without damage. The special thread design allows for carrying of very high loads at low pressure, guaranteeing reduced soil compaction and preventing damage to soil. If sloped ground is an issue in the fields, then the 21.3 x 24 tractor grip tyre will provide greater grip on those sloped areas.

VOGELSANG ROTACUT 5000
chop while filling….
The Vogelsang Rotacut works when placed on the suction side of a pump. The Rotacut effectively reduces floating solids in the liquid stream. Heavy solids are captured in the collection basin and eliminated entirely from the tanker. The Rotacut requires one double acting valve to operate. The Rotacut requires direct contact between the blades and the cutting screen. This is how it achieves the scissor-like cut. The blades are designed to wear over time but must wear evenly to achieve maximum lifecycle between replacements.
Auto Reverse
Auto-Reverse is how the Rotacut handles large objects by reversing the rotation of the blades until the object is cleared, reduced and passed through the screen. Auto-Reverse engages at preset intervals which keeps the blades wearing evenly. The trailing edge of the blade is sharpened as a natural effect of the cutting process. When the rotation is reversed a fresh straight edge enhances the cutting quality of the blades.

Autofill
No waiting around…..keep on the move. You the operator are in complete control, all from the comfort of your cab. Our hydraulically operated autofill maximizes productivity and operator comfort whilst also reducing work time.
Available in either 6 or 8”, the autofill requires only one double acting valve for use. The autofill is side mounted as standard, with an option for centre mounted to fill from both sides.
Turbofill
Experience the ultimate in filling speed with a turbofill. A hydraulically driven turbofill enables higher capacities at a faster rate without overloading the pump. This will reduce the filling time as the slurry is essentially forced into the tank via the turbofill.
The turbofill is particularly suited to larger capacity tankers where the benefit of filling will be seen in shorter times. It can also help where the level of the pit has dropped and the vacuum pump is pulling slurry from greater depths.

Axles & Brakes
TANDEM AXLES
HiSpec use bogie type axles on tandem tankers up to 4000 gallons. The design of the bogie allows for greater movement of the axle and allows improved balance over uneven ground contours. The bogie is free to rotate around a central axis and this design is particularly suited to intensive use on uneven ground. To reduce maintenance on moving axle parts, central greasing can be specified for those hard to reach greasing points.
OPTIONS – AXLES

Braking Systems
All HiSpec tankers are fitted with hydraulic braking as standard. All ranges except for the smaller SA-S tankers are supplied with commercial running gear and a minimum of 420×180 brake shoes as standard. For increased braking power, air over hydraulic braking can be specified. This combination of both air and hydraulic braking allows the tanker to be used with any tractor.

Rear Stonetrap
All HiSpec tankers can be fitted with a rear stonetrap for the collection of stones or foreign objects within the tanker. The tanker is designed to slope towards the rear as standard. This allows stone to find their way towards the trap where they can be easily removed. This feature is extremely useful where low emission spreaders are also fitted on the tanker, as it will reduce the likelihood of stones entering the applicator.
Front Stonetrap
For tankers that require complete emptying through a centrifugal pump then a front stonetrap is an option to slope the tanker towards the front. The front stonetrap is situated directly behind the centrifugal pump and can be easily accessed for cleaning.
Cleaning

Centrifugal Options
Jurop Julia
Centrifugal pumps use a shaft driven impeller rotating inside a casing to propel liquid slurry. The speed of the impeller allows the slurry to exit the pump at a much greater velocity. These types of pumps can also be used for piping systems due to the high flow rates that can be achieved. A pump change-over allow either the vacuum or centrifugal pump to be used.
The Jurop Julia pump is a combination of two pumps:
vacuum / centrifugal | capacity | |||
Jurop Julia 84 | 9000 / 5000 | 2000 gallons & below | ||
Jurop Julia 106 | 11000 / 5000 | 2300 gallons & above | ||
Jurop Julia 140 | 14000 / 5000 | optional |
HiSpec use Jurop Julia Centrifugal pumps as standard for the disposal of slurry under wet conditions. Standard with a rain-gun, it is also possible to feed a rear spreading implement or and umbilical system via the centrifugal system. A hydraulically operated rain-gun can jet slurry through 360° and up to a distance of 45m as standard. A rear stonetrap and wide angle PTO are provided as standard for additional pump protection. Centrifugal systems are ideal for slurry spreading in wet weather or over unfavorable ground conditions.

Fill Points & Hoses
FILLING UP
All HiSpec tanker models come standard with:
6” galvanised fill point complete x1
6” blanked fill point x3
6” x 15’ reinforced suction hose x1
6″ hose carriers x1
Additional fill points and hoses may be added as optional extras.
HiSpec uses PERROT couplings to fit the suction hose to the quick attach. The Perrot fitting along with the U-clamp is seen as the strongest fitting; however the suction hose needs to be aligned straighter towards the fill point. Bauer fittings can be specified to cope better with imperfect alignments to the fill point. All options above are also available in 8”.
Options – Fill Points
6″ blank fill point | 8″ blank fill point | |

SUCTION HOSE
A single 6” x 15’ reinforced suction hose is supplied as standard with each HiSpec tanker. Hoses can also be supplied in 20’ lengths and with the addition of double end fittings for even longer pipework. The 6” pipework is most common due to its ease of use and relative low weight.
Pipework is also available in 8” diameter to increase flow rate, and to provide increased suction with thicker slurry. The 8” pipework will fill the tanker faster than a standard 6” however the additional weight and handling of the 8” pipe will need to be considered if moving from pit to pit.

Galvanising Options
Galvanised
For maximum protection vacuum tankers can be hot dipped in a galvanise bath to provide an anti-corrosion coating both inside and out. The hot-dip galvanization happens at a temperature of 450°C. During this process, the steel is covered with three coatings made of a mix of steel and zinc, as well as with an outer coating of pure zinc. The quality of workmanship in HiSpec slurry tanks together with the galvanisation guarantees an efficient protection.
Note: Capacities of 4000 gallons & upwards may require altered dimensions to accommodate the galvanising process.

SA-S tankers are fitted as standard with a fixed ring hitch. All other tanker models are fitted with a swivel ring hitch as standard. This allows independent lateral movement between the tanker and tractor and makes for a smoother ride. An optional spoon hitch provides maximum comfort by offering a tight fitting and eliminating movement sometimes associated with ring hitches. A bolt-on swivel hitch can be chosen should a contractor wish to change to a spoon hitch at a later date.

Internal & Access Options
MANHOLES
Each Hi-Spec tanker is fitted with a 600mm hinged galvanised rear access manhole for cleaning out. With tankers now transporting a variety of slurry of varying viscosity, cleaning out the tanker has become a more difficult problem. To combat this, Hi-Spec has numerous methods to gain easier access inside your tanker.
The addition of or relocation of an access door to the side of the tanker allows the operator to enter the barrel from the side. This is particularly useful when a low emission spreader is fitted on the tanker.
900mm REAR DOOR
A larger 900mm access door can be fitted in lieu of 600mm
to the rear of the tanker to allow easier access inside the
barrel. This 900mm door is hinged and opens the same
as the 600mm. It allows much easier access for cleaning
purposes
FULLY OPENING REAR DOOR
A fully opening rear dished end provides unrivalled
access into the tanker. The rear dished end is hinged on
large 20mm hinges and is secured using manual clamps
to the perimeter of the dish. A large rubber seal is used
between the door and the barrel to create an adequate
sealing. This rear door allows the operator to enter the
barrel safely and also allows hazardous vapours to exit
the tanker faster.
INTERNAL AGITATOR
For extremely thick or slurries where settlement can occur, the HiSpec internal agitator can ensure that the slurry is kept in constant motion. The internal agitator prevents sediment build up within the tank. The internal agitator is hydraulically operated from the cab. The internal agitator is supported the length of the tanker to ensure that the full tanker is constantly stirred during transportation.

Lighting Options
be safe, be seen…..
Travelling on the road, add additional road lighting to your tanker to be safe and be seen. HiSpec vacuum tankers are fitted with a single set of LED road-lights as standard. Additional road-lights and beacons can be fitted to increase visibility and provide warning to other road users.
Working in the evenings or late into the night, you can also add work-lights to your tank to keep the work going. Reversing or discharge cameras can be fitted for manoeuvring into those difficult places or for monitoring spreading.

Linkage
Future proof your tanker with applicator brackets. Each applicator has its own characteristics in regard to weight, width, so it is vital that the correct brackets are chosen to suit any future implement.
AGQUIP DRIBBLE BAR
The AgQuip Dribble Bar rests on the rear manhole with the addition of any A-frame carrier. The weight of the dribble bar is approximately 480kgs. There is additional reinforcement to carry the weight of the dribble bar. The dribble bar does not exert a pulling force on the ground so it does not need to be inserted into the chassis.
AGQUIP TRAILING SHOE
The AgQuip Trailing Shoe is supported on a lifting mast. The lifting mast is cantilevered from the chassis of the tanker and also supported on the rear dished end. The axle of the tanker is pushed backwards approximately 200mm to take the weight of the trailing shoe. The trailing shoe weighs approximately 700kgs. There is a pulling force exerted on the ground with the use of the trailing shoe so there is a need for the additional reinforcement within the tanker chassis.
BOMECH TRAILNG SHOE
Bomech Trailing Shoes up to 8.8m are supported with the same cantilevered technique from the chassis. The trailing shoes are relatively light in weight, 680kgs. Larger Bomech trailing shoes 12m and upwards are supported on a four point linkage system due to their increased weight and supported width.
FOUR POINT LINKAGE FRAME
The addition of the four point linkage brackets allows the farmer / contractor to add any implement at a later date. The chassis is reinforced internally to take the weight of the future unit. The threaded linkage is then simply bolted on at a later date as required.
FOUR POINT LINKAGE
The four point Linkage system from HiSpec allows the farmer to carry any implement on the rear of the tanker. The linkage is particularly suited to heavy implements. The linkage allows the implement to be lifted up and down. The implement can also be removed easily from the tanker via quick attach.

Pumps
add more pumping power…..
9000 litre Jurop pump – standard up to 2000 gallon
11000 litre Jurop pump – standard from 2300 gallon upwards
14000 litre Jurop pump – optional extra
Vacuum tankers up to & including 2000 gallons are fitted with a Jurop 9000 litre pump as standard. 2300 gallons & above are fitted with a Jurop 11000 litre pump. Manual pump changeover is standard, along with a syphon tank for maximum pump protection. The vacuum pump creates an atmospheric pressure difference in order to fill or empty the tanker. When the vacuum is created within the tanker, the outside atmospheric pressure is responsible for pushing the slurry into the tanker. When spreading, the opposite occurs. Pressure is increased within the tank and this increase in pressure within the tank allows the slurry to be spread via splashplate or rear implement.
Options such as hydraulic changeover, exhaust can all help to improve pump performance.
Go Safer
Hydraulically driven pumps offer greater safety to the operator by eliminating a PTO. This allows for increased efficiency with constant spreading or filling through corners without any damage to the pump. The hydraulic driven pump is simple to use and requires one double acting spool and a ¾” non-restricted return.
Go Quieter
Reduce noise levels during pump operation and provide a cleaner environment around your farm. Exhaust fumes are diverted through the chassis where excess oil is collected to keep your pump and yard clean.
Go Faster
Switch between vacuum and spreading at convenience and speed. Have your tank primed for refilling before you even reach the pit with a hydraulic change-over added to your pump.

Unloading & Top Fill
Unloading Boom
Unloading Boom and Drain
The unloading boom is designed to feed an additional working tanker in the field. The boom is ideal where travel distances are increased and time savings are required. There is also the added benefit of one tanker remaining in the field at all times. This also saves slurry and mud from being carried onto the road.
The unloading boom can be rotated hydraulically through 270º from the tractor, thus making it possible to unload on both the left and right hand sides of the tanker. The boom length of 4.8m means that hedges can be easily bridged.
OPTIONS – UNLOADING BOOM

Manhole Top-fill and Ladder
A 600mm manhole can be fitted to the top of the tanker for top-filling. The manhole is opened via a hydraulic ram. The manhole opens past 90º to allow the boom to swing over the opening. The manhole top-fill comes complete with a ladder for inspection purposes.
Sliding Top-fill and Ladder
A sliding top-fill can also be fitted. The sliding top-fill has the added benefit of opening horizontally. The sliding hatch also has a larger opening for the boom to reach. For closing the hatch is sealed against a large rubber gasket. The sliding top-fill is ideal to reduce the risk of a boom coming in contact with the tanker. The sliding top-fill also comes complete with a ladder for inspection.
