Slide-in vacuum tank systems provide a great option for those looking to keep their pumping outfit small. Slide In Queen has a range of products designed to keep PROs equipped without needing extra certifications.
The Model FD-995-2C-SE is flanged and dished and according to the company, well-designed for rough-duty service. “The 995 model offers a small footprint without needing a tanker endorsement for operation,” says Jessica Villareal, president of Slide In Queen.
The model is available in both a single- or dual-compartment configurations, but Villareal says PROs tend to gravitate toward the dual-compartment model. “We sell more of the 2C model as most are using them to service larger portable restroom routes,” she says. “This tank can service between 45-55 toilets on a route.”
The tank is made from 5454-H32 marine-grade aluminum and built with 670-gallon waste/325-gallon freshwater capacities. The unit also features a 9 hp, electric-start side-mounted gas engine allowing ease of startup and the ability to carry restrooms behind the tank. “It also opens up the convenience of reachability for all engine components, which are located directly behind the driver side door,” Villareal says.
Stock models are built standard with Masport HXL-3 vacuum pumps capable of 115 cfm and Shurflo 12-volt water pumps producing 6 gpm. Users will find a 2-inch diameter and 30-foot long Tigertail suction hose as well as a 1/2-inch by 50-foot washdown hose with spray nozzle. Also included are dual 5-inch sight eyes in the waste tank compartment. For discharge, PROs will find a 3-inch full-port ball valve, with male camlock and dust cap.
“This tank can be placed on a 19,500 GVWR with a 10-foot flatbed,” Villareal says. “It is a mount-and-go tank with the versatility of a smaller truck/tank footprint to service hard-to-reach routes.”
Size and versatility are user touchpoints. “My favorite comment from a customer is, ‘I can pump toilets in minutes and still fit in the drive-through line,” Villareal says. “These tanks fit our customers’ lives and businesses because they can be customized if necessary to fit what they are looking for.”
