To run a gutter vac with an overall estimated wattage of 3400w,
No surprisingly enough it’s more manoverable than an ordinary one I quite often use it by my self , Ime so glad I got it rather than the industrial 85 with a genie saves so much time .
You can take the drum off it but that’s it , I am very surprised how easy it is tk move about and get in and out of the van on you own , if you tip it onto the back wheels then push the front wheels into the van then lift up the handle it’s in the van easy and simple no ramps needed , I do accept it’s a bigger vac but if doing tiny houses probably better off with a mains powered Grippatank vac but if doing medium houses upwards I would thoroughly recommend it , no electric needed at all nice little engine one pull and it’s running work anywhere , it is a typical Honda noisy engine but I have found that can work to our advantage as the neighbours hear it running and come out to see what’s going in and quite often then want there’s doing as well ?????
No you can’t , I have a Grippatank small mains powered vac as well that I use for shop fronts or difficult access going through a terraced house kind of thing , but apart from that haven’t found a job where I cannot get the interceptor
Thanks! thats great advice, I think ill just use clients power for now unless larger commercial contracts come up.
I dont see why there's such a big deal, regarding Gutter Vac power supply. Extension lead, plug in, obviously mindful of the rain. Away ya go??.
Customer has to be in unless they have an outside socket , friend of mine used the socket in the customers garage and blew the trip didn’t realise what had happened as he was packing up , a few days later had a very irate customer on the phone as all his stuff in the freezer had defrosted ??? was a very costly mistake
There are alot of people that do not understand electricity and they just see a generator as 230v and that's it.
Don't buy a generator from Amazon. Plenty of small independent equipment suppliers in the UK who would appreciate your custom during these times
The only thing that's putting me off any generator is the weight....40kg to be heaving in and out the little van seems to be too much....is it possible to get anything that will power the skyvac Atom at more around 25kg?
That’s the problem to run these vacs the genies are big and heavy , that’s the reason I bought the interceptor it looks big and heavy , but it’s easy to get in and out of the van on your own and doesn’t need a genie or any other power source .
Unfortunately there is always a down side , but it shouldn’t cost 6k but I do accept they are expensive you do need a reasonable amount of work to make it viable
List price £5870 for key start plus 40' elite poles. Not making that back doing a few residentials here and there
