Trailers
Osprea Logistics’ bespoke cargo, water, fuel, and specialty trailers and bowsers are engineered and designed to military standards for use in the world’s most inhospitable and austere off-road environments.
Incorporating only the heaviest and durable components, no Osprea Logistics trailer has experienced a break-down failure in almost 15 years of in-field use with African militaries, fire-fighting, peacekeeping, and mining projects.
These trailers can be customised to meet any client requirement of size, utility, and configuration.
All Osprea trailers are engineered using heavy tubular steel design and exceed all current military standards for light trailer component strength and carrying capacity.
Osprea water trailers use heavy-duty polyethylene with a minimum wall thickness of 10mm minimum. This material is recommended by Health Ministries in Europe and the US for human potable water usage, and is.proven to have lower microbiological and bacterial production levels versus standard steel tanks. With zero corrosion and UV light impact, Osprea’s polyethylene tanks have long lives and are easily heat welded if damaged by impact. Plumbing include 4 water access points (lockable valves).
In addition to stock trailers up to 2T or 3,000L, Osprea designs and builds up to 5,000L and 10,000L detachable bowser units for fuel and water, which can be built into a cradle or onto a lighter frame, making them easily removable from a vehicle by forklift. These detachable bowser units free up base vehicles for other operations when not needed as operational tanker units, and allows for the bowser units to be positioned free-standing on the ground as remote fuel or water positions. Equipped with 600L per minute pumps and all hoses, these “Slip On Bowsers” are an ideal operational addition due to their versatility.
