What chassis are your Whale vacuum tankers built on?
Answer: We stock Whale bodies primarily mounted on DAF (XB, CF, XD) and Scania (P-Series) Euro 6 chassis across 4×2, 6×2, and 8×4 axle configurations.
What is the difference between a gully emptier and a jet vac combination unit?
Answer: A dedicated gully emptier (typically 18T) is designed for municipal road gully maintenance using an overhead suction boom and low-pressure rinse hose. A jet vac combination tanker carries larger clean water capacity and high-volume, high-pressure jetting pumps alongside its vacuum pump to clear sewer lines and extract dense silt simultaneously.
Can I finance or hire a vacuum tanker from Mac’s Trucks?
Answer: Yes. We offer hire-purchase and lease agreements through Mac’s Asset Finance, as well as short-to-medium-term commercial rental through Mac’s Truck Rental.
