VJ Engineering – VJ Engineering (VJE) is a vacuum tanker manufacturer based in Rugby, Warwickshire, UK. Its tankers can be built to specifications suitable for both Non-Hazardous and ADR applications. The company also offers tanker remounts, refurbishments, servicing, and repairs.
In addition to full compliance with the latest PED or ADR tanker regulations, VJE tanker equipment can be fitted with a variety of additional safety devices and driver aids including:
■ Beacon and work area lighting ■ Blind spot monitoring and detection systems ■ Reversing and indicator back chat alarms ■ 360⁰ camera systems and video recording ■ Loadcell axle/vehicle weighing systems ■ Tanker Tipping Equipment ■ Mobile Grounding Verification Systems (Earthing Systems) ■ Chapter 8 Chevrons and Safety Markings ■ Fire Extinguishers and Spill Kits
