Vactor dual hose reel for Ramjet trailer
The Vactor Ramjet trailer now features the option of a dual hose reel for increased efficiency, versatility and convenience for a variety of sewer cleaning jobs. The dual hose reel option features the main sewer hose plus one smaller hose designed for lateral pipes, providing the ability to tackle a wider variety of drains. Generally, the lateral hose has a diameter of 1/2-inch while the vertical hose is 3/4-inch or larger. With two hose reels, one hose allows the jetter to run 3,000 psi at 36 to 40 gpm while the second smaller reel is capable of 3,000 psi at 18 gpm. Having this versatility means the jetter can combat heavy debris and sludge in city mains and culverts while also navigating smaller lateral pipes with blockages. 815-672-3171; www.vactor.com
