About Vac Trucks

Types of Vac Trucks
There are different types of vac truck and each will have different capabilities of suction and what types of materials it can remove. There are 4 types of vacuum trucks: industrial vacuum loaders, liquid vacuum trucks, combination vacuum trucks, and vacuum tankers.

These trucks direct air and make it possible to remove a range of materials, this function is used with positive displacement blowers.

Liquid Vacuum Trucks
Liquid vacuum trucks are used in a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications to suck and pump liquids. A vac truck can successfully pump liquids from septic tanks, oil spills, and other situations.
Combination Vacuum Trucks
The combination vac truck can vacuum up both wet and dry materials. Generally most combination units are extremely versatile by being able to switch between dry and wet systems. These types of trucks are great options for the cleaning of storm drains, settling ponds, drainage of ditches, and catch basins.
Vacuum Tankers
A vacuum tanker is the ideal choice when you need more power than what a vacuum truck can provide. Vacuum tankers have the ability to hold, transfer, and suck a variety of slurries and liquids than a vacuum truck can.
