Transport device comprising a tank construction

摘要

The invention relates to a transport device comprising a platform (2) for general cargo to be transported and a tank construction (1) underneath the platform for liquid material to be transported. The tank construction (1) comprises at least two parallel, substantially horizontal and cylindrical part vessels (3, 4, 5), adjacent part vessels intersecting over their length and being interconnected at their points of intersection (6, 7, 8, 9). The general cargo platform (2) bears against the upper surface of the part vessels (3, 4, 5). In one embodiment, the tank construction (1) comprises three cylindrical part vessels (3, 4, 5), whose upper surfaces are located in the same horizontal plane, while the two lateral part vessels (3, 5) have a diameter smaller than that of the central part vessel (4). The transport device is most appropriately used in lorries or articulated lorries intended to transport both solid and liquid materials.
