Watts Truck Centre, Worcester.
Munich manufacturer Rohr is already established in Ireland, and with Watts Truck Centre, Worcester now handling its sales and service support business, it is concentrating on the 11, prestigious UK market.
The short 46,200 lit ADR tanker, for Irish operator Top Oil uses a novel two-section barrel.
Its Ii .5m round main section is joined via a short collar to the specially-rolled front end with rounded top and elliptical bottom profile. Manlid neck-rings are countersunk to give rollover protection.
It weighs around 5.2 t.
(even on one leg) but with standard axles,19.5in discs, single hose tray and landing leg, the design goes below 5.0t for German users.
Head of international sales Nico Brombeis ignores scepticism, arguing that German operators never leave full tankers standing, so one landing leg is perfectly adequate.
