Pik Rite roll-off vacuum tank offers pumping and storage versatility

For the manager of a septic service company, it’s not always easy to organize the pumping, storing and transportation of liquid waste. In this business, it’s good practice to have storage and hauling options. Pik Rite’s 3,600-gallon self-contained roll-off vacuum unit is designed to offer flexibility.

The unit can be dropped off at job sites to pump or store liquid waste. The multipurpose unit allows septic pumpers and portable restroom operators to reduce equipment inventory costs and keep fewer trucks on the road, according to Pik Rite sales representative Clint Morris.

“We’ve received very positive feedback overall,” he says. Customers “like the 15-year warranty on the steel tank, flexibility and time savings, and lower equipment inventory costs.”

Pumpers will find many uses for the roll-off tank, says Morris. “Our customers can use the chassis for multiple purposes, including wastewater storage, wastewater pumping, grease traps, portable toilet industry, residential septic pumping and energy services liquid waste,” he says.

The unit is equipped with a Jurop/Chandler R260 vacuum pump, which is mounted on a front pump stand and powered by a Kohler 25 hp electric-start engine. The tank is set up with a float-ball level indicator, rear sight eyes, 36-inch rear manway, 20-inch top manway, 3-inch intake with an internal 3-inch stand pipe, 4-inch discharge and 50-foot grounding reel.

A low-profile 12-inch primary shutoff is paired with a 10-gallon secondary shutoff, while a spray-on liner under the hoses protects the tank from scratches. Work lights and a safety beacon are mounted on the rear tank head, and a side-mounted ladder offers access to the top manway.

Morris says the unit is built in the U.S. “There’s an A-frame connected to the head, and the three-point connection gives this unit additional strength,” he says.

Polished aluminum hose trays and custom paint finish come standard with the Pik Rite 3,600-gallon roll-off unit. “The final paint finish is top quality,” says Morris. “It protects the tank from rust and promotes company branding.”

The product has been on the market since the late 1990s and the design can be customized in various sizes and features. 800/337-5975; www.pikrite.com.
