New Products for Carrying Watertight in the UK

A Watertight Trailer is arguably a Watertight Trailer. However we have lost count of how many times trailers need re-working after delivery to achieve water tightness. That makes us as Newton Trailers very keen on a test of water tightness at the factory and avoid those terrible warranty calls. Leaving say a meter of water in the untipped body overnight and receiving a certificate that this level has been achieved is a minimum.

It is anecdotal but we do find that the thicker inner wall of the plank body gives a more effective seal.

However there is evolution. In the UK we have used the simple and effective Turner Autogate Door Clamp. However the STAS Sawtooth Watertight Rear Door is a more advanced option.

Roof closures are advancing and now metal clamping versions are possible. These can reduce spills from surge and reduce smells, odours and promote disease control by reducing access by birds and vermin.

Watertightness is not easy to achieve in a 30 tonne loaded trailer. A complete rear door seal unbroken in the corners is a must. Thicker inner face body side planks is preferrable - say 4.2mm not the normal 2.8mm. This allows a better weld and reduces wall flex. Sawtooth rear door is the best, followed by Turner Autogate Door. Plenty of clamps. Remote door release prevents full welly boots and swept back hair. Reinforced door to prevent bowing and side leakage. Fully certificated water tight test ex factory on EVERY trailer. Straight-frame body NOT STEP body. A step body suffers surge pressure at the step and promotes weld fractures and leaking. Fork lift bump strips on the outside. Fill level indicator on inside to prevent over loading. Drainage sides and taps reduces liquid pressure. Inclined rear door reduces pressure on the door base.

Watertight Trailer Option: VWS Weighing System: Traditonally watertight trailers have not taken weighing sytems. But these systems now allow live GPS tracking of the trailer and camera recording and logging of loading and unloading events for auditing.

Watertight Trailer Options

If the liquid element can be drained at the time of loading this helps to achieve greater efficiency in achieving 30 tonne payload of higher density watertight or food waste or animal by-products. It is a customer option to add external taps for decanting the liquid and blood before transport begins. Any number of drain taps can be fitted. Typically 2 per side - one towards the front of the body and one towards the rear. There will be a requirement to regularly wash the drainage perforated aluminium out and remove debris caught inside. This is accepted practice in the industry although there is not normally a queue at the door to do that work?
