Sewage Suction / Vacuum Truck
Factory-built vacuum suction trucks for septic service, sewer sludge collection, manhole cleaning, industrial liquid waste and sealed transport operations.
Practical vacuum collection for sewage, sludge and liquid waste work.
A sewage suction truck is designed for customers who need strong vacuum loading, sealed tank transportation and controlled discharge. It is widely used by municipal service teams, septic contractors, industrial plants, construction sites and wastewater treatment operators.
Vacuum Suction System
Matched vacuum pump, suction pipeline and control system help load sewage, sludge, slurry and mixed liquid waste from tanks, manholes and pits.
Sealed Tank Transport
Round vacuum tank structure supports negative pressure operation and sealed movement between work site, treatment point and discharge location.
Hydraulic Discharge Options
Rear door, tipping tank, pressure discharge and auxiliary flushing options can be configured according to local disposal habits and job conditions.
Sewage suction truck or combination jetting and vacuum truck?
The choice depends on whether the job is mainly collecting waste or also requires high-pressure pipe cleaning.
Choose a sewage suction truck when…
Your daily work is septic tank emptying, sludge collection, liquid waste transport or pit suction. A vacuum tank, suction hose and controlled discharge system are the main requirements.
Choose a combination truck when…
Your work also includes pipe flushing, drain cleaning or blockage removal. This vehicle adds high-pressure jetting alongside vacuum recovery on the same chassis.
Compare both systems
Read the practical guide before requesting a configuration, especially when you need to balance septic service, sewer cleaning and municipal maintenance work.
Read the comparison guideBuilt for daily field service, not only showroom specification.
Different markets use vacuum trucks for different work. We confirm tank capacity, pump type, suction depth, road conditions and discharge method before recommending a chassis and tank layout.
Choose the tank and pump system around the real job.
The following options are commonly used for export vacuum suction truck projects. Final configuration can be adjusted for your road rules, payload limits and working conditions.
| Chassis options | Dongfeng, SHACMAN, SINOTRUK, Foton and other chassis platforms, from light-duty city service to heavy-duty 6×4 vacuum tank trucks. |
|---|---|
| Tank capacity | Common choices include 8m3, 10m3, 12m3, 15m3, 18m3, 20m3 and 25m3. Semi-trailer tanker solutions can also be discussed for large-volume transfer. |
| Tank material | Q235 carbon steel for standard sewage and sludge work. Stainless steel can be selected for more corrosive liquid or special industrial applications. |
| Vacuum pump system | Domestic or imported vacuum pump options can be matched according to suction depth, working frequency and local maintenance preference. |
| Rear door and discharge | Hydraulic rear door, gravity discharge, pressure discharge, tipping tank and rear-mounted operation controls are available by project. |
| Optional systems | Water flushing, hose reel, sight level tube, anti-overflow device, custom tank paint, English decals, toolbox and spare parts package. |
Vacuum tank layouts for different markets and chassis platforms.
We can build standard vacuum suction trucks, heavy-duty suction tankers, stainless tank options and customer-branded export vehicles.
