How to Choose an Industrial Vacuum Truck

Cappellotto

Choosing the right industrial vacuum truck is one of the best ways to boost efficiency across industries like construction, mining, utilities, and waste management. With so many options available, it’s important to understand which features and capabilities align with your project needs. KOR offers a wide range of Cappellotto vacuum trucks, built to deliver reliable performance for demanding jobs.

Key Considerations When Choosing an Industrial Vacuum Truck

1. Application Needs

Each project demands specific tools. Some trucks are designed for wet vacuuming, while others specialise in dry waste collection. Hydro excavation models help crews dig near pipes and cables without causing damage. Trucks built for hazardous waste disposal ensure dangerous materials are handled safely. The CAP COMBI 3200 CL IND manages both wet and dry waste, eliminating the need for multiple vehicles. This versatility helps teams complete jobs faster, making it perfect for multi-purpose operations.

2. Capacity and Efficiency

Tank size determines how often crews need to stop for disposal. Larger tanks reduce trips, allowing teams to stay on task and finish jobs more quickly. For example, the CAP VAC INDUSTRIAL, with its 10,000-litre sludge tank, keeps operations running smoothly and reduces labour costs by making it easy to handle high volumes of waste in fewer trips, ensuring smooth operations and lower labour costs.

3. Vacuum Power

A vacuum truck’s suction capacity determines how quickly it can clear materials on-site. Higher air speed ratings are crucial for demanding jobs, such as cleaning up industrial spills or removing sludge. The CAP BORA 3200 XL delivers a powerful suction rate of 9,608 m³/hr, allowing crews to remove waste efficiently with fewer passes, ensuring work stays on schedule.

4. Manoeuvrability

Navigating tight spaces and rough terrain requires features like an improved turning radius and boom reach to access confined areas and obstacles. The CAP BORA 3200 XL offers a 285-degree rotating boom with an articulated end, making it easy to work in challenging environments without frequent repositioning.

5. Safety Features

Operating in hazardous environments requires trucks that include features that protect both operators and equipment. Safety features like automatic shut-off valves prevent overflow, while explosion-proof (ATEX) components and isolation from ignition sources, protect crews from harmful contaminants or catastrophic incidents like fire or explosion. By incorporating these features, the CAP COMBI 3200 CL IND Dangerous Goods model maintains compliance with regulations and keeps crews safe during challenging operations.

6. Long-Term Value

An industrial vacuum truck’s value extends far beyond its initial price. With regular maintenance, dependable servicing, and access to spare parts, businesses can avoid costly downtime and keep operations running smoothly. KOR offers full mobile support, ensuring every truck stays in top condition and provides reliable service over the long term.
