Guzzler
Manufacturing, a provider of industrial vacuum loaders
introduced the Kenworth T880 and Cat CT660 Class 8 truck model chassis options
for the company’s Guzzler®
CL and Guzzler®
NX vacuum loaders and the Guzzcavator™
multi-purpose vacuum truck.
“Guzzler has been building and improving industrial vacuum equipment for more than 40 years,” said Ben Schmitt, product manager at Guzzler Manufacturing. “Guzzler vacuum trucks work in very tough environments, so providing solutions that deliver enhanced operator comfort and convenience is important to our industrial cleaning customers.”
Kenworth T880 Chassis
“The Kenworth T880 chassis option includes a variety of features designed to improve on-road comfort, drivability, visibility and safety,” Schmitt said.
Shorter bumper and axle settings on the Kenworth T880 chassis provide a tighter turning radius and greater maneuverability in confined spaces. A 45-percent larger, bonded-style windshield and cowl-mounted side mirrors provide increased visibility. Reflector-style headlights replace the seal beam-style headlamps on previous models.
A new door configuration on the T880 chassis offers greater sound attenuation and decreases the exterior noise inside the cab. The functionality of switches and gauges has been designed to help operators perform their tasks more efficiently. For operators who spend considerable time in traffic, the cab features an air-assisted, hydraulically-activated clutch.
Cat CT660 Chassis
The first vocational truck produced by Caterpillar for the American market, the Cat CT660 chassis is built for operator comfort and ergonomics. The chassis’ rugged durability and styling is built to work hard in the toughest applications. The Cat CT660 features a sloped hood, wraparound windshield, heated mirrors and halogen headlights. The durable aluminum alloy construction provides longer life and improved productivity.
“The Cat® CT660 chassis is an option for customers looking for improved ride quality on long hauls and in extreme conditions,” Schmitt said.
The spacious interior includes such features as sound insulation, tuned cab air suspension system, and an ergonomic dash and center stack, resulting in reduced driver fatigue and enhanced driver and worksite safety. Side and rearview mirrors are designed for secondary visibility on the road and at the jobsite. Gauges can easily be viewed through the steering wheel, so the driver can locate key indicators quickly and safely to ensure all systems are operating at optimum performance.
Guzzler CL
The Guzzler CL (Classic) industrial vacuum system is designed to clean up and recover a full spectrum of materials — from solids and dry bulk powders, to liquids, slurries and thick sludge. Depending on material type, the Guzzler CL industrial vacuum loader can operate effectively in remote or inaccessible locations more than 1,000 feet away.
Guzzler NX
Built for cleanup and recovery of a wide range of materials, the Guzzler NX industrial vacuum loader features a modular design that improves maintenance accessibility and allows the customer a wide range of productivity enhancement features that can easily be added on at the factory. The exclusive Vacuum Recovery (VR) Technology system on the Guzzler NX allows for complete loading of the debris body, while a quick-access, fold-down valve assembly makes manual cleaning effortless.
Guzzcavator
The multi-purpose Guzzcavator vacuum
truck combines
the performance of the Guzzler CL vacuum loader and the Vactor
HXX™ Hydroexcavator, without compromising productivity. In addition to
handling a variety of wet/dry industrial cleaning applications (such as
cleaning and recovering solids and dry bulk powders, liquids, slurries and
thick sludge), the Guzzcavator can also perform vacuum excavation work
including potholing, slot trenching, water valve box repair, locating existing
fiber optic lines, cables and other utilities, and oil and gas field support.
