August 2007 -

In August we added a new road rail vactor to our fleet. Put straight into service for Network Rail on a possession at Grantham, it has been built to our exacting requirements at our works under the guidance of our Design and Build Engineer Peter Shenton - who is also our Operations manager.
The vactor unit is built on a 4x4 Daf Chassis with a 3,200 cfm air mover capable of sucking ballast with great ease. It incorporates a high pressure Pratissoli pump operating at 1,500 lbs per square inch and capable of dispensing 40 gallons a minute. This power enables the vast majority of all railway drainage tasks to be dealt with easily.
