What it does



The contents of the 500 litre tank being discharged to a main sewer

The Vacutug is designed to empty latrines and other waste water depositories in densely populated urban areas where conditions would prohibit access for conventional road tankers. The novel design of the carriage enables rough terrain to be tackled easily.
