Industrial / dry vacuum trucks

Industrial and dry vacuum trucks use high-volume blowers to collect dry or wet material such as dust, ash, sand, sludge, catalyst and spilled product. They are used in refineries, chemical plants, power stations, steel mills and other industrial sites for cleaning tanks, pits and process equipment, and are typically mounted on heavy commercial truck chassis.

When comparing industrial vacuum trucks, look at chassis gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and axle configuration, then debris body capacity and dump method. Blower airflow and maximum vacuum level drive how much material it moves and how far. Filtration stages matter for fine dry material. Overall length, width and height, along with wheelbase, matter for travel on public roads and for access inside plants.

The site lists 10 models in this category; gvwr (gross vehicle weight rating) figures are not yet available for enough of them to give a range. Brands covered: GapVax, Guzzler, Keith Huber, RAMVAC, Super Products, Vacall.
