Trailer Holds Four 3,000-Gal. Tanks
Stoneham Equipment Company recently introduced its Quad Tank trailer for mobile liquid storage. Stoneham is a joint venture between Next Level Agriculture Solutions and Donner Manufacturing. The companies are located down the road from each other in the same town.
The trailer can be outfitted with up to four 3,000-gal. tanks. Each cone-bottom tank sits on a removable stand, allowing hoses to lie flat for easy filling and cleaning. The trailer offers left or right-hand plumbing, front and back-fills for increased flexibility, a simplified lift system, and a robust lift valve.
“We introduced the Quad Tank trailer this past summer and completed our first production run in January of this year,” says Nick Pieper of Next Level Agriculture Solutions. “We sold out of our first units, and Donner Manufacturing is building more trailers. We add tanks and the plumbing needed.”
The product line, which will soon include 1,300 and 1,700-gal. nurse trailers, resulted from frustration experienced by Next Level Agriculture Solutions, a farm services and input supplier of seed, liquid fertilizer and precision technologies.
“We had used storage tank trailers from many different brands in the past,” says Pieper. “We felt the best way to get the system we wanted was to partner up with Donner and build them the way we wanted.”
Complaints included undersized trailer jacks, insufficient oil capacity for the lift system, and the need for space at the front of the trailers to accommodate the addition of inductors.
Stoneham trailers use heavy-duty tubing frames with upgraded axles and a hydraulic lift. They also feature a solid front jack and a larger front platform.
“We designed stands that are a little higher than competitors offer so the hose can lay flat,” says Pieper. “We also developed a handle kit, so the operator doesn’t have to get under the trailer to open a tank valve. We offer it as an option.”
The tank supports are bolted to the trailer and can be removed, allowing the trailer to be used for other purposes.
“You can buy the trailer without being locked into the four tanks, leaving room for other needs,” says Pieper.
The Quad Tank trailer is priced at $28,200 with a 3-in. fill system. It’s also available with a 2-in. fill system. It’s equipped with a Honda motor and up to 50 ft. of discharge hose. A double-tank trailer is priced at $16,900, and a triple-tank trailer is priced at $21,900.
