Imperial Industries’ 2020 Freightliner 108SD comes with extraordinary innovations, including a fully remote-controlled vacuum system designed to help operators dramatically cut the time they spend on the job site.
The remote control system is featured on Imperial Industries’ 4,200-gallon painted aluminum tank, with a National Vacuum Equipment Challenger 4310 blower (940 cfm). Functionality includes full control of the tank’s PTO and pneumatic valves, providing operators with the ability to switch between vacuum, neutral and pressure modes without ever leaving a septic tank’s access point.
“It’s a huge timesaver, and in this line of work, time is money,” says Kurt Mannel, President of Imperial Industries. “Plus, by eliminating the need for operators to run to and from their truck several times during a single site visit, you’ll be doubling down on safety, helping protect against potential accidents near tank access covers.”
The remote system is available for installation on any of Imperial Industries’ stock service truck units, and it may also be added to truck and tank combinations that are custom-fit to an operator’s needs.
Imperial Industries’ 2020 Freightliner 108SD comes with a 76-inch-diameter aluminum 5454 (4,200-gallon) vacuum tank with a 1/4-inch aluminum 5454 barrel and 5/16-inch aluminum 5454 ASME dished heads.
