This summer we rolled out a new High Lift Reversible Drum Vac. Today, I received a phone call trying to figure out what Drum Vac the customer had. This led me to write a blog, “How can you tell the difference between a Reversible Drum Vac and a High Lift Reversible Drum Vac?”
The first identifier on the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac is the blue and black label attached to the muffler (pictured below), the label on our standard Reversible Drum Vac is silver and blue.
As time goes on the label may disappear from these rugged units after years of use. Our engineering team has had some forethought in this area, and we created a physical difference in the units that will not be removed, edited, or worn away. To confirm the identity of your Reversible Drum Vac, unscrew the body of the Reversible Drum Vac from muffler.
The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac will have a groove machined into the plug of the body. The Standard Reversible Drum Vac will be a smooth finish.
The High Lift Reversible Drum Vac doubles the lift of a Standard Reversible Drum Vac, which makes it great for any below grade liquid cleaning operations. The additional vacuum strength of the High Lift Reversible Drum Vac can be used to move viscous materials. Sludge, vegetable oil, and heavy motor oil can now be lifted from a coolant sump or trap at heights up to 15′ vertically. On top of this extra lifting capacity it features the same benefits as the Reversible Drum Vac. With no moving parts to wear out and no electricity required, it can operate safely and effectively for years.
