OPERATED SUCTION EXCAVATION
As a well known figure in the construction industry (both agriculture and civils, public and private sector) and with an expanding portfolio of machinery hire J.A Rattigan & Son Ltd offer safe effective suction excavation, thoughout London and the UK. By the means of high volume air flow, together with highly trained suction specialists, surveyors, operators, drillers and engineers we are able to assist on a number of excavation projects.
HOW IT WORKS…
Through the advanced design of these units, power is taken from the engine via a PTO ( POWER TAKE OFF ) and transferred to the fans which create a negative pressure / air flow to the rear of the arm high performance / durable 10″/ 250mm hose enabling the transfer of materials/liquids into its onboard storage/collection tank. As the air decelerates the materials drop from the air flow and remain in the chamber before the air continues through various cleaning stages before returning to atmosphere via the filter outlet.
The hydraulic arm is controlled via a hand held remote control unit allowing for a 180 degree working area movement from the rear of the truck and when required From the end nozzle ( metal or plastic depending on the job requirement ) , additional 10″/250mm transfer hoses can be added to allow for greater depth and distance works, materials pending.
