New SlurryKat Elete Tanker Series & 12m Dribble Bar

SlurryKat has again showcased the company's drive for innovation, with unveiling two of the new Elete Series of slurry tankers, with a new 12m Farm Line dribble bar applicator and the Tandem axle model, incorporating a special "Back British Farming" livery for LAMMA 26.

Complete with three pending patents and fully registered design rights, the new Elite Series, builds on the market-leading success of the Premium Plus™ tankers, but it should be noted that this new Elete Series is not a replacement for the current Premium Plus™ tanker range, but is a whole new additional tanker range that sits above the current Premium Plus™ range.

Similarly, the new 12m Farm Line dribble bar applicator is an evolution and addition to the successful Premium Plus™ dribble bar range.

Launched at LAMMA 2026 in Birmingham UK, these latest additions demonstrate the unrivalled focus on continual product development that has made SlurryKat a global leader in slurry handling equipment.

Offering a new and advanced way to spread slurry, the Elete Series has been designed from the ground up and incorporates a range of unique features, including a new novel chassis, integrated hydraulicly sprung drawbar, as well as an improved anti-surge baffle system.

With hydraulic drawbar suspension as standard, operators also benefit from increased traction, faster filling and discharge, improved stability and a reduction in noise pollution.

The new 12m Farm Line dribble bar applicator features many of the popular features of the Premium Plus™ range, alongside a complete new main frame, fully adjustable linkage brackets, a wrap-around connection formation and new cultivation attachments.

Garth Cairns, SlurryKat's CEO, commented:

"After keeping it under wraps for such a long time, we're excited to finally unveil the Elete tanker range in single and tandem axle versions and our new 12m Farm Line dribble bar."

"As you can see, we haven't just added a couple of new improvements, but an extensive arrangement of new innovations and technology, that enhance performance. This is the result of our continual drive for improvement and our commitment to bringing our customers tankers that not only look fantastic, but offer unrivalled performance."

• Novel new chassis - This innovative feature allows the centre of gravity to be lowered by 160mm.

• Integrated drawbar - Unique to the Elite range, the new drawbar is integrated into the chassis and front chassis plate.

• Hydraulic drawbar suspension - Offering a softer, more comfortable ride for the operator, this feature comes with the added benefit of being able to raise and lower the front of the tanker's running height.

• Increased traction - When more traction is needed, a simple load adjustment on the drawbar is delivered at the touch of a button on the ISOBUS screen.

• Increased filling and discharge speeds - The load adjustment offers the secondary benefit of increased filling and discharge speeds.

• Increased stability - Another secondary benefit of the load adjustment feature, this is particularly useful when working on a downhill gradients.

• Integrated oil collection trap - Lubrication oil from the vacuum pump is collected in an easy to drain reservoir.

• Reduced noise pollution - Thanks to an integrated silencer system, noise levels have been reduced to circa 80dB.

• Anti-surge baffle system - Building on the success of the Premium Plus™ range, this system further reduces liquid surge inside the tank, to deliver a smoother operation on the road.

• New rear hydraulic linkage - Available on the Tandem Axle Elete version, the newly designed rear hydraulic linkage is strategically mounted with its own independent base plate onto the rear of the chassis, giving ultimate strength with the wrap-around mounting formation, without adding any additional weight to the tanker.

• Tandem & Tri-Axle Cultivation attachments - This linkage has been designed with a wide range of cultivation attachments in mind, allowing arable farmers and contractors to apply slurry while carrying out a cultivation process such as deep leg injection or disc cultivation all in one pass, incorporating slurry directly into the soil structure.

• Variable width adjustment on the dribble bar brackets - variable width adjustment to cater for different attachments and offers versatility for all cultivation implements.

• Bolt on interchangeable towing hitch as standard for ring or K80 ball.

Suitable for use on both the Premium Plus™ and Elite tankers, the new 12m Farm Line Dribble Bar Applicator includes many of the popular features of the Premium Plus™ dribble bar range.

New features include:

• New main frame - Reduced weight reduction down to 720kg.

• Single Axle possibilities - The lighter frame means that a 12m dribble bar can now be added to a single axle tanker.

• Linkage brackets - The fully adjustable linkage brackets provide more adaptability and choice options for different widths.

• Proven technology on the macerator distribution heads and booms from the highly successful Premium Plus™ dribble bar range.
