Last week, two soundproof hydrocleaning tanks, designed and manufactured by Surtruck for the company Valoriza Medioambiente, travelled to the Canary Islands. The new vehicles will work in the street cleaning service of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Together with these tanks, two others are being approved and will be delivered in the coming weeks.

Among the technological novelties of its design, the new equipment incorporates an automatic collection winding machine, located behind the cabin, with the hose coming out of the vehicle’s calender and without dangerous elements or those that stick out from the body. In this way, the operators who carry out the manual cleaning will do it in a safer way.

The technical characteristics of the tanks are as follows:
