7 Tips for Purchasing a Vacuum Truck

Did you know Vac2Go not only rents quality vacuum trucks but also has a variety of top of the line trucks for sale as well? We know acquiring a vacuum truck is a major purchase. It's not a quick or impulsive decision.

1. Determine Your Primary Application — Understand exactly what jobs the truck will be performing. This helps narrow down the type of vacuum truck you need.

2. Consider Tank Size and Material — Tank capacity should match your job requirements. Also consider whether you need stainless steel (for corrosive materials) or carbon steel construction.

3. Evaluate Pump Options — Different pump types (positive displacement, liquid ring, fan) have different strengths. Choose based on the materials you'll be handling.

4. Check CFM and Vacuum Ratings — Higher CFM means faster material pickup. Ensure the vacuum rating (inches of mercury) meets your application requirements.

5. Inspect the Chassis — The truck chassis should be appropriate for your operating environment. Consider GVW ratings, axle configurations, and engine options.

6. Review Maintenance History — For used trucks, a complete maintenance history is essential. Vac2Go's used inventory comes with full service records from our own fleet.

7. Factor in Total Cost of Ownership — Consider not just the purchase price, but also insurance, maintenance, parts availability, and potential resale value.
