Vacuum Truck Supplies’ most powerful vacuum truck non-destructive digging models have just touched down in Australia.
With more than 30 years of experience and over 1000 vacuum trucks built to date, Vacuum Truck Supplies (VTS) has been a long-time supporter of the Australian trenchless industry.
The company’s DiggerVac and DrainVac trucks, traditionally offered in a mobile 6×4 configuration, deliver reliable non-destructive digging (NDD) and drain cleaning to projects across the country.
And now, the much anticipated 8×4 models have touched down on Australian soil.
The upscaled DiggerVac9000 boasts a 9000L waste capacity and a 4000L water capacity, perfect for large scale or remote projects where payload is critical. Featuring a Jurop 6000m3 per hour Helix blower vacuum pump, and an UDOR NDD pump that puts out 17L per minute at 300-BAR, the DiggerVac9000 means serious business.
Also new to the market is the DrainVac8000, VTS’ heavy-duty solution to both drain cleaning and hydro excavation.
This model has a waste capacity of 8000L and a water capacity of 4000L, which supports a Pratisolli drain cleaning system capable of putting out 346L per minute at 170-BAR. The truck also features a 4000 m3 per hour liquid ring vacuum pump, and the same UDOR NDD pump that produces 17L per minute at 300-BAR.
In fewer words, these trucks are well equipped to handle even the most rugged NDD, liquid waste, and hard waste projects.
“We’re very excited to bring these larger 8×4 models to market, which will complement the smaller range and allow our customers to tackle jobs both big and small,” VTS Managing Director Rod Glue told Trenchless Australasia.
Despite the impressive capabilities of these machines, each was designed with the intent to maximise operational life and serviceability.
Just like their previous 6×4 iterations, the DiggerVac and DrainVac are built with stainless steel waste, water and tipping tanks, full opening rear doors, and a non-computer control system.
This final feature is critical to the design, and means the vehicles rely on mechanical and hydraulic engineering standards that have been proven for decades.
“Our trucks feature no computers at all for hassle-free operation and maintenance,” Glue said.
“They’ve been designed to withstand the harshest Australian conditions – without any unwieldy European manufacturing influences – and are built to be abused.”
The trucks were delivered in partnership with manufacturer Aryan Pumps and Enviro Solutions, which has been building NDD solutions for more than a decade and has delivered hundreds of trucks all over the world.
All of this translates to a proven and dependable product with inherent simplicity in diagnostics, repair and maintenance.
VTS will be showcasing these new at the upcoming Brisbane Truck Show, held in May.
“VTS has been attending the Brisbane Truck Show for a while now, and this year we’re excited to showcase our new range,” Glue said.
“If you want to see them in person and learn more, come to the show and pay us a visit.”
