Kässbohrer won the prestigious Trailer Innovation 2017 award with its Safety Bitumen Tanker. The award was given in recognition of Kässbohrer’s safety concept and its implementation of innovative technologies in bitumen tankers that contribute to safer and more efficient discharge operation.
Kässbohrer has engineered Kässbohrer Safety Bitumen Tanker, K.STS.F 32, through an exemplary industry collaboration with Hoyer Bitumen-Logistik GmbH, the German bitumen transport subsidiary of Hoyer Group, one of the worldwide market leaders in transports of liquid goods.
Implementing the latest technology to the tank semi-trailer design, Kässbohrer’s new concept improves European best practices for occupational health and safety, as well as the discharge operation’s safety, and efficiency in general.
The electronic discharge automation system installed on K.STS.F 32, along with additional security features not only protects the driver, avoiding possible permanent injury, it increases security of the operation site and the equipment as well. The result is safer working conditions, lower operational costs and lower risks increasing the total value of ownership.
