Are they only for suction and water draw? Let’s find out!
Vacuum Capabilities
The primary uses for vacuum tankers are suction and vacuum capabilities. Vacuum tankers clean up waste spills or draw waste or water from other places. An example of this is clearing out a septic tank. However, vacuum tanks also clean up oil spills or draw water to use in other locations. Our Fusion Vacuum Tankers are used to draw water from lakes, streams, and other bodies of water in rural areas. This is useful to save on costs and helps with issues regarding chemicals. Water contains chemicals after it is purified, which hurts crop yields.
Transportation of Materials
Vacuum tankers transport materials that are otherwise very difficult to transport. Vacuum tankers also get into remote and inaccessible locations. There, they clear out waste material that causes issues with the environment.
Safety Concerns
Vacuum trucks allow operators to safely remove dangerous/waste materials from areas that won’t otherwise benefit from this service. Additionally, it offers a safe way to transport these materials so they don’t spread to other areas. Plus, it lessens the air quality and environmental effects when adequately contained within the tanker.
Useful in Many Applications
Vacuum tankers are versatile and valuable in many different applications. They are a budget-friendly option for many operations as they put in “double duty.” Vacuum trucks are used in cases of water suction to transport to new areas that need it and, if necessary, as a cleanup truck. Never mix fresh water and dangerous waste, even with deep cleaning. Your truck puts in “double duty.” however, if you see more need for one over the other and you’ve started with water, switching your tanker truck to the other is okay.
