Description
Overview
This honey sucker trailer is a 2500 L horizontal tank on a double-axle braked chassis, with a 6.5 HP petrol engine driving a 3 inch trash pump. It empties septic tanks, conservancy tanks and pit toilets at up to about 50,000 L/h and tows the load to the disposal point. It is the largest honey sucker trailer for sale in our range.
The chassis is built for the weight: a 5 mm U-channel double frame, two 1.8 t braked axles, a 3,500 kg braked coupler and a 1.3 t leg stand for parking full. If you need less capacity, look at the 2000 L horizontal honey sucker trailer, braked or the 2000 L twin IBC honey sucker trailer.

Where it works
Municipalities and sanitation contractors in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KZN use a trailer this size to service VIP toilets at schools, clinics and rural villages without buying a dedicated truck. It also suits mines, construction camps, game lodges and estates with conservancy tanks. Browse every size in our honey suckers range. Loaded, this rig needs a proper tow vehicle such as a light truck or a heavy-duty 4×4 rated for the full mass.

Questions about this product
What do I need to tow a 2500 L honey sucker?
Empty, the trailer weighs about 686 kg. Full of effluent it comes to roughly 3,200 kg, close to the 3,500 kg coupler rating. You need a vehicle rated to tow that braked mass, usually a light truck or heavy-duty 4x4, and the right licence code. Check your vehicle manual before you hitch up.
Is this a vacuum tanker?
No. It uses a 3 inch centrifugal trash pump driven by a 6.5 HP petrol engine, not a vacuum pump. It moves about 50,000 L/h on clean water and handles sludge well if you keep the suction lift short and the filter clean. There is no vacuum pump or oil separator to service.
Do you deliver to Thohoyandou?
Yes. At R82,489.05 VAT incl. this trailer is over our R20,000 free-delivery mark, so delivery to Thohoyandou, or anywhere in the nine provinces, costs nothing. It ships at 686 kg on a Kamano truck from Polokwane and normally arrives within 1 to 3 days.
Why double axle instead of single?
A full 2500 L load is too heavy for one axle. Two 1.8 t braked axles share the weight, keep the trailer stable on gravel roads and give you braking on both axles. That matters on steep farm tracks and when you stop suddenly with a full tank.
