Vactor Releases Dual Hose Reel for Ramjet Trailer
The Vactor Ramjet Trailer now features the option of a dual hose reel for increased efficiency, versatility and convenience for a variety of sewer cleaning jobs.
“The Vactor Ramjet Trailer already provides a multitude of configuration choices including water tanks up to 1,000 gallons, pull-out and pivoting hydraulic reels, and mounted accessories. The addition of a dual hose reel means our customers can truly expand the Ramjet Trailer’s capacity for effective cleaning of many types of sewers, drains, and culverts,” said David Brockman, Vactor product manager.
The dual hose reel option features the main sewer hose plus one smaller hose designed for lateral pipes. This allows the operator the ability to tackle a wider variety of drains. Generally, the lateral hose has a diameter of ½” while the vertical hose is ¾” or larger. The most popular model of jetting unit with dual reels would be the 3000PSI at 36-40GPM. With two hose reels, one hose allows the jetter to run 3000PSI at 36-40GPM while the second smaller reel is capable of 3000PSI at 18GPM. Having this versatility means the jetter can combat heavy debris and sludge in city mains and culverts while also navigating smaller lateral pipes with blockages too.
The Ramjet Trailer’s advanced hydraulic controls, including pay-in/out and speed control, help operators to easily maneuver the hose reels.
“The Vactor team has been driven to develop the most capable and versatile equipment for our customers,” said Brockman. “The Ramjet Trailer’s dual hose reel is another example of our team anticipating and innovating the tools our customers need.”
Beyond the Ramjet Trailer, Vactor offers a variety of solutions for sewer cleaning including the combination sewer cleaner – an industry first at the time. For more information about Vactor, visit Vactor.com.
