5 Ways To Enhance Railway Vacuuming

Prioritize quality equipment operation

The vac-on-the-go creep drive system enables precise, efficient vacuuming while improving ease of use. With hydrostatic forward and reverse movements, operators can maintain control and accuracy throughout the job. The system also helps truck operators stay aligned, using onboard controls designed for smooth, consistent operation.

Enhance operator comfort and visibility

A rear-mounted operator control station gives operators full control of the vacuum truck from a more convenient position while maintaining clear visibility of the boom and rail area. The ergonomically designed control layout features an easy-to-use joystick and a swivel chair that locks into place, helping support operator comfort, reduce fatigue and improve overall productivity.
