Four new VacuumWhale tankers for Bridmin waste management

For a company that recognises the build quality of Whale Tankers as being 'second to none', it will come as little surprise that fellow Midlands-based company, Bridmin Limited, is continuing to show its faith in the Whale brand.


In a move that has seen the privately owned specialist waste management,

commercial and transportation rental company seriously pump up the volume of its

articulated Whale tanker fleet, Bridmin has recently ordered its fourth

VacuumWhale in the last twelve months.


Serving to bolster Bridmin's fleet to in excess of 35 vehicles, the latest nohazardous VacuumWhale will join the company's existing Whale units by working

on both long-term and standard hire contracts. Of equal importance, the new

tanker intake will support Bridmin's progressive and expanding waste management

service provision.


As Dave Bridges, Bridmin's director and grandson of the founder of the business

comments: "Whilst the new Whale tankers have strengthened our overall fleet

capabilities, they have been purchased to support the growth that we have been

successful in achieving for our waste management operation under the direction of Sale Consultant, Richard Snape.


"Whale's tankers are proven to be extremely effective pieces of frontline

equipment that represent the best that money can buy. And whilst the build

quality is something to be admired, so too is the back-up and aftersales support

that Whale provides," he added.


Manufactured from 316-grade stainless steel and fitted to tri-axle semi trailer

running gear, the frameless articulated VacuumWhales have a carrying capacity of

29,500 litres. Plated to 44 tonnes GVW, they are suitable for carrying sewage and other non-hazardous sludges.


Complying with the Pressure Systems Regulations SI 1999 No. 2001 Directive No

97/23/EC and with an operating pressure of 1 bar. Vacuum power is delivered via a Mistral series exhauster/compressor with secondary cutout.


Established over 40 years ago, Bridmin Limited is a registered waste collection and disposal carrier, and transport company that provides customers with nationwide coverage. The company's philosophy centres on operating to the highest standards and in doing so providing a competitive and comprehensive range of services for its customers.
