Hopdeals.com has found an answer and is filling the void for many desperate operators. The company now manufactures a range of new 10,000 and 15,000 litre vacuum tankers that are being mounted on either late used Euro 6 chassis or pre-ordered DAF and MAN chassis. Hopdeals also has some 4,000 litre jet vac tankers in production the first of which is mounted on a low milage Euro 6 Mercedes Atego rated at 8.6 t. These jet vac tankers have 2,400 litres dirty and 1,600 litre clean tanks with a ½ in (10 mm) diameter hydraulicly driven jetting hose on the rear of the full opening back door. These little jet vac’s are ideal for BT ducting work or city centre drainage work.

These trucks benefit the operator with a full opening
