NEW VACTOR 2100i FOR CITY OF BELLEVILLE
Report by Terri Rodina
The City of Belleville, Kansas purchased a new VACTOR® 2100i after Vince Deason, Key Equipment & Supply Company’s Territory Manager, did a demonstration for the Utilities Director, Brian Phillips, and his team members. The VACTOR 2100i replaced Belleville’s 20-year-old VAC-CON truck. The City of Belleville built the 2100i to their needs. They decided on a single axle truck with a 10-yard debris body and a 1000-gallon water capacity and a RDB boom coupled with Dual Hydro-excavation for larger jobs they will be doing. The 2100i is equipped with 600 feet of ¾ sewer hose and the pump is putting out 50 GPM up to 3000 PSI.
“The City of Belleville built this truck to their needs. They also purchased an Envirosight RovverX system and an Outpost to video the sewer lines,” Vince commented.
LABRIE AUTOMIZER RIGHT-HAND™ DEMONSTRATIONS
BY TERRI RODINA
Recently, Steve Hyink, President of Key Equipment & Supply Company and Quality Rents, set out across Missouri and Kansas doing demonstrations with a Labrie Automizer Automated Side Loader. Customers were amazed at how smoothly the arm dumped carts and were pleasantly surprised with the 12 ft. reach allowing the unit to grab carts near parked cars and in hard-to-reach cul-de-sacs. This unit’s built with special Abrasion Resistant Steel in the hopper for long service life and works full speed at idle for fuel savings and to keep the noise down in neighborhoods.
