Vacuum Truck
TOTAL EQUIPMENT TRAINING – VACUUM TRUCK OPERATOR TRAINING
Vacuum Trucks are, by definition, vacuum tanks that are truck-mounted or vac-trailer-mounted coupled with a high-velocity vacuum pump that hydraulically loads wet and dry material through vacuum hoses. Vacuum Trucks are used for the safe removal of hazardous or non-hazardous materials from a worksite.
Total Equipment Training has a comprehensive training program available for your specific training needs. We can tailor our program for your site specific needs.
