SUPPLY TANKER

Abstract

The supply tanker includes a chassis resting on axles and bearing a tank, a fuel-dispensing module, a cab and also a cherry picker. The chassis has at least two subassemblies articulated to one another. A first subassembly, arranged at the front, bears the cab and the cherry picker. Another subassembly, arranged behind the first subassembly, bears the dispensing module and the tank. The first subassembly includes an axle in front of which and below the axis of which there extends a platform supporting, juxtaposed transversely, the cab on one side and the cherry picker on the other side.

Claims

1. A refueling tank vehicle, comprising: a chassis resting on axles and carrying a tank, a fuel distribution module, a cab, and a lifting platform, wherein said chassis has at least two sub-assemblies articulated to each other, wherein a first, arranged at the front, carries said cab and said nacelle, wherein another, arranged behind said first sub-assembly, carries said distribution module and said tank, and wherein said first sub-assembly comprises an axle in front of which and under the axis of which a platform extends supporting, juxtaposed transversely, on one side said cab and on the other side said nacelle.

2. The refueling tank vehicle, according to claim 1, wherein the sub-assembly which carries the tank and is carried by at least one axle, which is a motor.

3. The refueling tank vehicle, according to claim 1, wherein the axle of the front sub-assembly is a fixed axle.

4. The refueling tank vehicle, according to claim 1, wherein the rear sub-assembly has a modular construction.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The advantages and features of the refueling tank vehicle according to the invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows, and which relates to the appended drawing, which represents several non-limiting embodiments thereof.

[0021] In the appended drawing:

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a refueling tank vehicle according to the invention.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows a perspective view from another angle of the same refueling tank vehicle.

[0024] FIG. 3 shows the same perspective view of the refueling tank vehicle in another configuration of use.

[0025] FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a variant of the same refueling tank vehicle according to the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, it may be seen that a refueling tank vehicle according to the invention comprises an articulated chassis having two sub-assemblies, a front sub-assembly 1 and a rear sub-assembly 2.

[0027] The front sub-assembly 1 comprises an axle 10, a cab 1, and a nacelle 12 mounted on a lift 13.

[0028] The cab 1 is lowered, its base being lower than the axis of the axle 10, which allows for easy access.

[0029] The sub-assembly 2 comprises a double axle 20, a tank 21 and a fuel distribution module 22.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 4 the addition to the sub-assembly 2 of a trailer 3 carrying a tank 30 may be seen.
