Komatsu Mobile Fuel Tank – quicker safer onsite refuelling

Refuelling can take up a great deal of your time when working in the forest, this is why Komatsu offers a fuel tank that increases forest machine productivity while being rugged enough to handle demanding forest environments. Source: Timberbiz

As with all Komatsu products, the Mobile Fuel Tank is designed to optimise forestry work. The tank’s generous 872-litre capacity is enough to refuel a forest machine several

times on location in the forest where you are working. The fuel tank is approved for transport on public roads to get it as close as possible to the forest worksite, with the fuel tank loaded on a forwarder for the final stretch.

Refuelling is achieved quickly and safely with the machine’s electric filling pump, which pumps the fuel from the tank.

An optional level gauge is available, and an optional frost-free connector hose is also available to enable refuelling in colder climates. Sensitive equipment and connectors are protected by hoods, which can also be padlocked. The tank is made from steel. It weighs 276 kg when empty.
