Efficient transportation & spreading with slurry tankers

Slurry tankers are essential for any farm that wants to spread liquid manure as a natural fertilizer on fields and meadows. These tanks are specially designed for the safe and efficient transportation and spreading of large quantities of liquid manure.


Environmentally friendly spreading of liquid manure

The efficient use of liquid manure is not only a question of economic efficiency, but also of environmental protection. Proper spreading reduces ammonia emissions and reduces unpleasant odors. Modern dribble barrels or trailing shoe distributors enable liquid manure to be spread close to the ground, allowing the nutrients to penetrate the soil better and minimizing the risk of leaching into bodies of water.


What size is right for your farm?

Choosing the right size of liquid manure tanker depends heavily on the size of the farm and the prevailing soil conditions. Smaller tanks with a capacity of 2,000 to 6,000 liters are ideal for part-time farms or smaller fields, while larger farms usually opt for tanks with a capacity of up to 30,000 liters. Modern used slurry tankers are often equipped with pumps, cutting tools and even GPS technology to enable precise spreading.


Different types of slurry tankers

Slurry tankers are available in different designs, adapted to the needs of different farms:

  • Vacuum tankers are equipped with a vacuum pump that sucks the slurry into the tank quickly and easily. They are easy to operate and are particularly suitable for small and medium-sized farms.
  • Pump tanks are more powerful and are ideal for larger farms. They have an external pump that speeds up the suction and spreading of the liquid manure and can also process thicker liquid manure efficiently.
  • Tankers with distribution systems: Modern liquid manure tankers are often equipped with various distribution systems such as drag hose or drag shoe distributors. These systems ensure that the liquid manure is spread close to the ground, reduce unpleasant odors and improve nutrient uptake by the plants.

Regulations and funding opportunities

In many countries, there are strict legal requirements for the storage and spreading of liquid manure (e.g. when, how, what quantity). In some regions, there are also subsidy programs that support the purchase of modern slurry tanks and environmentally friendly spreading technology. When planning an investment in a slurry tanker, it is therefore worth finding out about the current funding opportunities.


Used slurry tankers: a sustainable investment

Used slurry tankers are particularly attractive as they are a cost-effective alternative to new tankers. This is a sensible solution, especially for smaller farms or farmers who are just getting into slurry technology. However, there are a few factors to consider when choosing a used slurry tanker: The condition of the tank, the functionality of the pump and the stability of the chassis are crucial for long-term use. Tip: Ask your trusted dealer for a free test drive so that you can put the tanker through its paces before you buy.

Frequently asked questions about used slurry tanks

Which slurry tankers are best suited for smaller farms?

Compact slurry tankers with a capacity of 2,000 to 6,000 liters are ideal for smaller farms. Models with a simple pump and manually operated valves are often sufficient here.


How large should the capacity of a slurry tanker be?

The capacity should be tailored to the size of the farm and the working conditions. For small and medium-sized farms, barrels with a capacity of 2,000 to 10,000 liters are often sufficient. For larger areas or in regions with longer transport routes, tanks with a capacity of 20,000 to 30,000 liters can be useful.


How often does a slurry tanker need to be serviced?

A slurry tanker should be serviced regularly to ensure reliable operation. Annual maintenance is recommended, during which the seals, pump and valves are checked and replaced if necessary. The condition of the tank and frame should also be inspected in order to detect damage caused by corrosion or wear at an early stage.


What to look out for when buying a used slurry tanker

When buying a used slurry tanker, make sure that the tank has no cracks or rust spots on the tank. The seals should be intact and the pump should be in good working order. A functioning steering axle and a well-preserved frame are also important indicators of the tanker's reliability. Another important aspect is operability: easy-to-operate and low-maintenance models are recommended, especially for businesses with few workers.
