At Vorstrom, we’re focused on finding the right high-capacity or compact vacuum truck to give you the best output. With our range of trucks manufactured in varying sizes, you may be unsure whether your job requires a large vacuum truck or a small vacuum truck. For the right applications, compact vacuum trucks are low-profile units with reduced weight for trucks with smaller drivetrains.
Compact vacuum trucks – Residential, sanitary and public utility jobs
With smaller payloads, height and vacuum options, compact vacuum trucks have significantly lower profiles compared to industrial vacuum trucks. Compact liquid vacuum trucks are the smart choice when navigating noise sensitive areas, such as residential neighbourhoods and municipalities.
A smaller liquid vacuum unit isn’t suitable for contractors looking to book commercial jobs with thicker liquid waste and sludge. Manufactured with lower CFMs, a compact vacuum truck has a quieter operation, causing less disturbance for areas with higher population density.
Compact vacuum truck applications involve:
- Vacuuming septic and sewer waste
- Servicing portaloo tanks
- Extracting waste from grease traps
Compact vacuum trucks – Enhancing manoeuvrability onsite
Being the smallest units of the Vorstrom fleet, compact liquid vacuum trucks have the highest agility. While some jobs take longer due to extracting excessive amounts of liquid waste, rigid vacuum trucks are specialised for getting contractors in and out as quickly as possible.
The shorter the vehicle, the more accessibility it has. Manufactured with low clearance operational height in mind, compact vacuum trucks benefit from being able to meet height requirements for low access areas.
Compact vacuum truck applications would involve:
- Septic jobs with minimal time spent onsite
- Commercial spaces and shopping centres with low height accessibility
- Building sites and events with large crowds
