Our special expertise is in transport solutions for hot liquids and chemicals, and we are Finland’s market leader in transport tanks for hot substances. Our wide range includes high-quality transport tanks for the transport of oils, liquid fuels, chemicals, bitumen, mud, and water.
High-quality components and expert production know-how are the cornerstones of our operations, as is continuous investment in product safety development. In our operations, we comply with the requirements of the EN ISO 3834-2 standard, and the safety equipment has been developed to ensure user and environmental safety even in the event of human error.
We serve companies of all sizes, from independent haulers to large transport companies. We can provide both an individual tanker truck and a comprehensive solution for transport equipment needs. Our equipment is designed to be versatile and cost-effective, and we also offer our customers comprehensive implementation training.
We want to offer our customers a worry-free and comprehensive service. We also provide spare parts deliveries, as well as maintenance and repair services for the equipment. Also ask about maintenance contracts and an extended warranty period. If necessary, we rent equipment for short-term needs.
Transport tankers for dangerous goods
Durability in northern conditions
KAR-Lehtonen’s long experience and local knowledge have made us an expert partner in the manufacture of Nordic equipment. In our product development work, we have taken into account both the severe cold and the corrosion impact caused by street salting.
All of our equipment is designed to operate at full performance as low as -40 ° C. Our tanks are also all made of corrosive-resistant materials and the platforms of our tank trailers are hot-dip galvanized as a standard.
This allows us to guarantee the durability of our equipment and optimal performance regardless of the season and weather.
Economical and flexible solution
KAR transport tanks can be converted with simple steps for the transportation of various substances. The modular design, selected special components, and accurate documentation enable the easy exchange of the transported substance, making the equipment ideal for companies whose products change according to the seasons. The modifiable equipment thus increases the flexibility of operations, the utilization rate of the equipment, and the profitability of the investment.
Comprehensive user training – accurate documentation
We offer each of our customers in-depth implementation training for new equipment. The practical training covers all product functions and is implemented in a real operating environment, either at our premises or according to the customer’s wishes.
The training ensures that the driver knows exactly how to use the product correctly and safely. This ensures efficient use of the product without damage to equipment, the environment, or personal injury.
It is also important for us that the exact documentation of the products is always available to the customer. Therefore, we deliver all parts lists, the maintenance program, and vehicle protocols to the cloud service, which the customer has access to 24 hours a day.
Central location and flexible service
KAR-Lehtonen’s design and production operations are centralized in Avanti in Lieto, near the ports of Southwestern Finland, so it is easy for us to reach you. Our international customers can also send their equipment to us for maintenance and repair – quickly and easily. After the customer puts the vehicle on board the ship, we take care of the rest in terms of logistics, repair, and departure handling.

Aarni Isotalo, Kuljetusliike Aarni Isotalo Oy
Kokemukseni on erittäin positiivinen KAR-Lehtosen toiminnasta. Kehitimme yrityksellemme uutta toimintaa ja siihen liittyen tilasin KAR-Lehtoselta alipaine/-imusäiliön ja meillä ei ole aiempaa kokemusta kyseisenlaisesta säiliöstä. Saimme yhteistyössä toteutettua juuri meille parhaan laitteen. KAR-Lehtonen oikeasti toteuttaa sen mitä asiakas haluaa ja pystyy myös asiakkaalle uusissa jutuissa antamaan neuvoa.
Matti Törmänen, Kuljetusliike Törmänen Oy
Vi har haft ett mycket gott samarbete med KAR-Lehtonen i över tjugo år. De har byggt ett antal olje-/ bitumen- och gassläp åt oss. De har även färdigställt alla våra tankbilar. Vi är väldigt nöjda med deras service.
