When you are running your city’s public maintenance division, you must understand that keeping the streets clean is high on the priority list as much as making regular garbage-collection runs and the like. Cleaning the streets requires a fleet of street sweeper trucks. However, even though you may have a well-stocked war chest to finance such a force, there are many tips you should take note of.
Start by drafting your list of needs for the vehicles, such as the viability of operating them in the community and the frequency of the tasks. A check of the frequent debris strewn on the streets matters, such as loose twigs and leaves, particulate dust, and heavy sand deposits left over from winter runoff. Take note of the possibility that you may have to share the vehicles with another agency or municipal area.
Sit down with the division’s heavy equipment operators and draft up selection criteria for the specific model. Important items to address include the vehicle’s ease of maintenance and adequate parts support, fast turnaround time, good handling and top speed, and detailed curriculum for training new and veteran operators. Careful deliberations will help narrow down the candidate vehicles to one or two specific models.

Vacuum trucks are very complex machines, but their job is as simple as it gets: getting rid of anything that can be a flood hazard in the sewers. It’s a 20 to 40-ton multipurpose platform with an impressive array of sewage cleaning tools and water supply system. Three main components of the sewer truck stand out among the rest: the nozzle, the tank, and the fan. These parts form the heart of any vacuum truck, whose purpose is to ensure the smooth flow of sewers and storm water chambers.
The nozzle provides the channel from the sewers or storm water chambers to the tank at the back of the truck. It can move loads of debris, sludge, and slurry at a given time, making the cleanup after a heavy downpour or storm faster. The fan provides the immense suction power, creating enough force to dislodge even the toughest of debris. The collected debris end up in a tank where it settles for the rest of the process until the dumping.
From there, the vacuum truck can be equipped with additional tools, such as a hose reel at the front and water tanks on both sides. Every time local utility workers bring a vacuum truck on site, it’s as if they’re bringing an entire brigade of workers. It’s bristling with enough equipment to get the job done before the next storm hits.
