The Tinbin and Vac-Ex lorry compliment each other
TINBIN
- Where there is a lot of ‘Type 1’ or gravel or sand or ballast.
- Use with the TINBIN insulated manual hose option and various plastic extensions for revealing unspecified infrastructure where extreme care needs to be taken. You cannot rush jobs like these.
- Where noise is an issue the TINBIN is quieter in operation for inner city applications.
- Rural areas where a Vac-Ex would need an expensive temporary road to be built.
- Use a TINBIN where at all possible for maximum cost savings.
Vac-Ex (Vacuum Excavator) Lorry
- Best used in fast-paced, bulk excavation work.
- When the soil is very claggy or primarily clay type.
- Where there is a lot of work to be done use a Vac-Ex lorry first to clear the claggy stuff and then follow in with the TINBIN for the rest.
The Tinbin can suck up any amount of liquids. You can't do that with a vacex lorry!
The TinBin is all about safe digging with no expensive strikes!
