Key Features
PATENTED HIGH LIFT “CAM-OVER” EXTERNAL HYDRAULIC DOOR
The McLaughlin patented “Cam-Over” hydraulic rear door leads the industry with this simple reliable design with all components being external to the tank. The design provides a consistent 360° seal and mechanical locking mechanism, to keep fluids securely in the debris tank even under reverse pressure.
THREE-STAGE CYCLONIC FILTRATION
Standard three-stage cyclonic filtration system, which allows the vacuum to be used for both wet and dry vacuum excavating where the cyclones reduce airborne particulates from reaching the final filter and vacuum blower. This system prolongs the filter life, reducing maintenance costs.
PATENTED IN-TANK WASHDOWN
Delivers a high-pressure water spray to the tank interior helping simultaneously dump material and clean the inside of the tank, Saves clean up time and makes it easier to remove dificult debris.
Available Options
Hydraulic Boom
Exclusive telescoping boom maintains hose lenght during extension and incorporates a remote controlled hydraulic valve for vacuum shut off. Available with manual or hydraulic rotation.
Hot Box Water Heater
The Hot Box option allows you to work with water heated up to 165 degrees F to improve digging in hard conditions.
Sewer Jetter
The J12-30 Sewer Jetting system turns your vacuum system into a versatile jetter/vac combination unit.
Compact Core Saw
The McLaughlin Mini Core Drill features an integrated cutting tool available in 6, 8 or 10 inches. A patented vacuum suction base uses a sealing gasket between the core drill base and the pavement surface.
