SAFER CLEANER CONNECTED M A PRACTICAL

THAT’S ANOTHER HINO

specifically designed and engineered for the collection and disposal of various liquids and debris, vac trucks as they are commonly known, have been instrumental in changing the way many excavation projects such as trenching and under road boring are being performed across Australia. The operations involve high pressure water jets being used to loosen the soil on the targeted surface, while a powerful vacuum boom sucks up all the mud, debris, liquids, slurry or sludge back into a truck mounted ‘spoil’ tank which can have a capacity of up to 10,000 litres. The liquid is then transported to a suitable location for disposal in an environmentally correct manner. There is an increasing demand for equipment with the capabilities to perform minimally invasive hydro- excavation work and to remove the resultant spoil and sludge, while still remaining straightforward to operate and maintain.
