The material is then transported and is either pumped out or the tank is opened for dumping. The vacuum unit is truck mounted or trailer mounted on either a single axle or quad axle. Some units feature positive displacement blowers that operate in extreme weather conditions including temperatures as low as -35°F.

Below, learn more about some of the most common defective truck parts that cause accidents. BRAKES AND BRAKE SYSTEMS Brakes are one of the most important components of a commercial truck. Air brake systems create and maintain compressed air that transmits pressure to the brakes, which can help stop a truck quickly. If an emergency arises and a truck must brake suddenly, functioning brakes help prevent a collision. Sometimes brakes are defective because of the way they were manufactured. In other situations, brake problems are the result of poor maintenance. Regular brake ...
