Technology moves on and so does our hire fleet.
We are now fitting the latest JCB Stage V low emission engines to all new GWS 50 Series machines we manufacture, and a large proportion of our fleet is already fitted with Stage V engines.

Even better, we can supply a 50 Series Stage V machine at no extra hire cost.

What does this mean for operators and site managers?
• Lower emissions
• Improved fuel efficiency
• No AdBlue required
• Compliant with increasingly stringent site requirements such as the Greater London NRMM Low Emission Zone.

Our 50 Series machines are fitted with the JCB DieselMax Stage V engine, delivering the same powerful vacuum performance while helping reduce emissions and operating costs.

We’re continually investing in our fleet so our customers can benefit from the latest technology without paying more for it.

SUPREME SUCTION POWER.
We’re proud to be featured in the latest annual edition of JCB Torque magazine.

Easy to use and built for reliable performance. Our equipment is ideal for the bulk removal of material from hard-to-reach areas – practically any material that will flow up a hose.

Designed for multiple handling methods.
A client collecting equipment last week using their own skip truck reminded me of the adaptability built into our 50 Series Diesel and 30 Series Electric Vacuum Machines.

Both machines feature integrated side lifting lugs, allowing safe lifting and transport using a standard skip truck. Although Skip Trucks are less common today, they can still be highly useful where access or site logistics favour it.

Alongside skip truck handling, the machines can also be moved by crane (using independently tested lifting eyes), forklift truck, or mounted on a site trailer and towed, providing genuine flexibility for transport and relocation on site.

Product Focus: Vacuum Filter Hoppers
If you’re working with dusty materials, our Filter Hoppers offer one of the safest and cleanest ways to vacuum collect and bag product on site.

A bank of high-efficiency filters captures almost all dust inside the hopper. Material can then be discharged straight into a 1-ton FIBC Big Bag, which ties off to stop dust escaping — protecting both operators and the wider site.

Each Filter Hopper comes with a 12" manual slide discharge valve and steep hopper sides to ensure smooth, easy emptying. They also feature double access doors for safe inspection or clearing any blockages.

Designed to work with our 50 Series Diesel Vacuum Machine (which automatically shuts down when the Hopper’s full), they can also be paired with lorry-mounted vacuums — ideal for bagging bulk material and preventing hazardous dust from reaching the main vacuum’s filters.

If you’d like more information or want to discuss suitability for your site, just get in touch.

Product Focus: GWS 50 Series Diesel Vacuum Machine
The 50 Series Diesel vacuum Machine is the workhorse of our vacuum hire fleet, putting in hour after hour of running without grumble. The 50 Series might be small, but it packs powerful performance while delivering impressive cost savings to boot.

Designed with durability and value in mind, every component has been engineered for robust operation and a long service life, to deliver an exceptional return on investment.

As well as lower hire costs and upfront costs than larger lorry mounted units, it also delivers exceptional value in the field. With impressively low fuel usage of 10-12 litres per hour and low consumable costs, it delivers a financial boost to the bottom line.

The 50 Series is designed to use primarily 4” diameter hose, which is safer and easier to manhandle than larger 6” or 8” hoses but also significantly cheaper.

We typically arrange for the 50 Series to be delivered to site via Hiab lorry, which can off-load on site. The 50 Series is skid mounted as standard or can be mounted on a trailer and towed around site. That way you’re not tying up a HGV driver, making it ideal for multi-day jobs.

If you’d like to learn more about the 50 Series Diesel Vacuum Machine, or discuss any of our industrial vacuum solutions, our team is here to help.
