Disposal is no problem either! Our Megavac Skytipper is capable of lifting the entire debris tank in order to dispose into high side skip bins or over bund walls. All of our vacuum trucks can also reverse the pump to blow back into the debris bin in order to force any product out of the tank under pressure.
