Standard Equipment

Gourdon cradle tanks offer versatility for your activities. Combined with your lorry and/or lift arm trailer, your equipment takes on a new dimension and gives you flexibility thanks to the modularity of the cradle tools.

Applications:

  • Agricultural spreading: spreading manure or transferring digestate to achieve the desired agronomic effect.
  • Watering public works sites: limiting dust and environmental pollution during construction work or in quarries.
  • Hydrocleaning: draining pits and cleaning networks and pipes.

***********************************************

Gourdon offers you its expertise and advice in defining your project.

How to configure your tank on a cradle?

  1. Define the application of the equipment according to your activity.
  2. Provide information on the characteristics of the support equipment (lorry and/or trailer with lifting arm).
  3. Define the characteristics of your tank body:
  • Volume on demand (from 4 to 22 m³)
  • Partial wave-breaking partitions
  • Compartmentalisation possible with fixed integral partition(s)
  • Surface treatment: RAL polyurethane, Tankguard® coating, galvanisation
  • Customised branding to reflect your image
  • Stainless steel rear unloading flap
  • Side hose holders
  • Plastic or metal tool box(es)
  1. Define the autonomy and drive system for your tank:
  • Vacuum pump for suction/discharge (see options)
  • Connection to the lifting arm’s hydraulics (see options)
  • Combustion engine for autonomous drive (see options)
  • High-pressure pump for hydrocleaning application (see options)
  1. Define the control of your tank’s functions:
  • Hydraulic distributor with manual controls
  • Electro-hydraulic distributor with remote control box or in the cab
  • Remote electrical control cabinet at the rear of the truck and/or radio control
  1. Define the filling and emptying connections:
  • Side-mounted pump arm pivoting on front base
  • DN 50 to 200 mm connection(s) (front, rear and side positions to be defined)
  • Upper filling cone (gravity filling)
  • Manual quarter-turn or hydraulic valve(s) (DN 50 to 200 mm)
  • Manually or hydraulically operated guillotine valve(s)
  • Internal gooseneck for accelerated filling
  • Claw or symmetrical connections
  • Sprinkler blade
  • Spreading ramp
  1. Equip the equipment to carry out inspection and maintenance operations:
  • Manhole Ø 800 mm (rear or top with inspection ladder)
  • Fully opening bottom (manual or hydraulic locking)
  • Spirit level or transparent level (position of your choice)
  • Porthole
  • Low level detector and audible alarm
  1. Equip the equipment with the accessories needed for productive, comfortable and safe working:
  • Spiral or flattenable PVC suction hose (Ø 50 to 150 mm)
  • Hose guide and protection (flexible or rigid)
  • Rear rotating beacon(s)
  • Work light(s)
  • Warning triangle (manual or electric)
  • Hydraulic or manual hose reels (hydrocleaning)
  • Cleaning nozzles and high-pressure lance (hydrocleaning)

Information: Tankers on cradles are not available in ADR versions (transport of hazardous materials).

Available Options

Depending on your application, equip your tank with the appropriate suction, discharge and drive components:

  1. Vacuum pump

The vacuum pump allows you to vary the volume inside the tank in order to suck up or discharge material. Gourdon recommends two types:

Vane pump

  • Suitable for watering and spreading tanks
  • Economical
  • Flow rate from 7,200 l/min to 53,000 l/min
  • Vacuum level: 60% to 80% continuously
  • Cooled by air or water injection
  • Paddle lubrication by oil injection

Lobe pump

  • Suitable for intensive use such as hydrocleaning
  • Vacuum flow rate: 21,000 l/min to 181,000 l/min
  • High vacuum level: 93% continuous
  • Low wear
  • Air-cooled

Vacuum pumps are generally equipped with a vacuum line: a cyclone purifier, a silencer on the suction and/or discharge side of the pump, a ball overflow valve, a vacuum valve and a pressure relief valve.

  1. High-pressure pump 

The high-pressure pump allows water to be delivered at high pressure for intensive cleaning work. Gourdon recommends one variant:

High-pressure pump

  • Piston pump (flow rates/pressures to be defined)
  • Water filter and control valve

This equipment comes with accessories such as a high-pressure lance, HP hoses (Ø1/2″ on a 50 m manual reel or Ø1″ on a hydraulically driven reel) and high-pressure cleaning nozzles.

  1. Internal combustion engine

The combustion engine allows you to use your tank on a cradle independently, whether it is located on the chassis of the lorry/trailer or “on the ground” in a fixed position. This equipment comes with the usual accessories for a combustion engine, such as filters, coolers, tank, etc. The brand and power (kW) of the engine will be determined in conjunction with Gourdon according to your application.
