I've had a run on "Tankers" in the last few weeks ... BIG tankers!
Week before Christmas this was a Prime mover with TWO trailers hauling GRAIN ...
That's all vinyl with digital prints for the Horse Head Logos. This "double" is one of two we have done for the customer who hauls feed grain for his properties listed on the cab.
Then a MOLASSES "triple" tanker last week! Again hauls feed for cattle. This rig has 34 wheels! Again all vinyl with a digit print on the back.
Today I finished this WATER tanker ... only one trailer this time but he hauls THREE of these 33,000 litre trailers at a time behind the tractor hauling water for a road construction project out west. Again Vinyl 22m of 600mm (70ft x 2ft), including the red/white reflective stripes. But I did get to outline all the gold panels with chocolate brown and a few simple scolls on the tractor ... took couple ounces of paint hahahahha
Vinyl pays! ...BUT only when you charge the right price!

Nice!
We did graphics on 7 tankers like the last one last year (and a dozen delivery tankers as well) if I can figure out the picture thing I will post one.
Its always great to take something boring like a tanker and almost change its whole identity.
Good Job!

Wow, Jon, I love them all, especially the first one. What gorgeous tractor units!! I have always been a fan of long nose rigs! I think they are gorgeous. Strange fancy for a girl eh, sigh, I'm just a massive petrol head!!
Nice work and awesome workshop!!

Sorry Anne & Magoo ... no, it is not my workshop! I do work from home on a 1/2 acre in town with a modest 30x30 shed. Although I do have a back entry onto a 1/4 acre lawn in which I have often had some of these babies to work on.
Fortunately, most of my customers are those who build these rigs and I get full use of their workshops. Only hassle is working on them while they are doing the final fittings.
If I do get anything else I can't work on outside because of weather, these guys will often let me slot a stray big rig in their workshop for a day.
Nice customers Posted by Deb Fowler (Member # 1039) on :
