We are delighted to announce the latest addition to our expanding fleet of vacuum tanker vehicles.
Minibee, an RCV Ultra Vac tanker with a 2,220 gallon tank capacity and wash-down capability, joins big brother Bumblebee, providing the teams at Drain & Sewer Services with even more flexibility to handle jobs of all sizes and difficulty.
The new vehicle comes equipped with a 520 CFM vacuum pump, a 10-gallon-per-minute jetting pump and 100m of hose for wash-down and jetting. For speed and ease of use it is also fitted with a hydraulic rear opening door and carries more than 80 metres of suction hose to make it a truly versatile operator.
Minibee has already started working alongside our larger tanker Bumblebee which we purchased at the start of 2020. Bumblebee is a state-of-the-art RCV Ultra Cleaner Recycler with an impressive 3,200-gallon tank split between 1,200 gallons of fresh water and 2,000 gallons for debris. Its horizontal suction is 200 metres long and a vacuum pump pulls at a maximum of 40-45 metres vertically. All this means Bumblebee is a very powerful machine for both jetting and sucking, ideal for clearing drains and removing large amounts of standing water.
Recycled jetting water goes through a filtration system to 50 microns which helps it to be more environmentally friendly and cost efficient for customers.
Investing in vehicles like Minibee and Bumblebee is important to Drain and Sewer Services; not only does it provide us with even more capacity to help our customers, but adds to the range of services we can offer:
- Clearing septic tanks and pump stations
- Removing floods, including clearing culverts and storm systems
- Cleaning treatment plants
- Managing oil water movements
- Emptying road gullies and catchment pits
- PPM work
- Emergency call outs
Our customers are assured that because we invest in our own vehicles, equipment and the latest technology, we aren’t dependent on third parties, with the associated risks of delays waiting for hired equipment to arrive.
We will be posting Minibee’s adventures on Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
