Tanker refurbished and exported to a Nigeria
Written By John Roberts
UK customer Armstrong's Ltd ordered a new tanker for their cesspool operations in the North East. Their 11 year old tanker mounted on a MAN chassis was taken in part exchange, refurbished and exported to a Nigerian contractor operating in Lagos. Work included the barrel being ultra sound tested which was found to be in good order, however a completely new subframe was required. As this is a major operation, the pump, cut-outs and valves and other ancillaries were all renewed before a full shot blast and repaint. Unfortunately, no photos were taken of the unit in it's original state to compare the difference, which is shame!
