INTRODUCTION

 

 
The 

Hurricane

 is designed for rugged, reliable operation featuring powerful vacuuming capability 

with a very minimum daily maintenance.  The 

Hurricane

 will pneumatically convey material from 

distances in excess of 1000 feet.  Any material that is flowable, whether liquid, slurry or solid, or able 
to move through a 4”, 5” or 6” diameter hose, can be handled with this equipment.   

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This equipment is self-contained and powered by an electronically controlled diesel engine. It will 
provide excellent service if properly maintained. There are no unique or complicated parts that require 
sophisticated maintenance procedures under normal operation. The diesel engine is equipped with 
automatic shutdowns for low oil pressure and high temperature. 
 
The engine enclosure of the 

Hurricane

 

has locking latches and a locking cap on the fuel tank. 

 
The tandem axle trailer is equipped with electric brakes. The 

Hurricane

 

can easily be towed and 

maneuvered with a one ton, or larger, truck having dual rear wheels. 
 
Because of its ease of set-up and maneuverability, the 

Hurricane

 is a very flexible and effective 

piece of industrial vacuum cleaning equipment. You will only be limited by your imagination. 

DANGER 

THE  

HURRICANE

   SHALL NOT BE USED TO VACUUM/CONVEY 

FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE HYDROCARBON LIQUIDS. 

 

THE 

HURRICANE 

SHOULD NEVER BE USED OR MOVED WITHOUT  

REFERENCE TO THE SAFETY PROCEDURES NOTED BELOW.
