High Velocity Vacuum Trucks

Our vacuum  trucks operate with 28 inches of Mercury at 5700cfm. This high velocity allows Great Lakes Industrial to address very heavy materials, over long distances. We also have the capability of a crane on our truck that can raise a remote cyclone unit up to 28 feet high to load reactorsrail cars, tanks, and other vessels of choice. All vacuum trucks are 2004 or newer models.

Wet Cusco Vacuum Tankers

Equipped with larger vacuum pumps, these trucks can move heavier liquefied material than most tankers. With a 3000 gallon capacity and the capability to transport non­ hazardous, special waste, these trucks can tackle any task with great success. All tankers are 2004 or newer models.

Water Blasting Units


The water blasting units we own are capable of generating a very high amount of pressure, ranging from 10,000 psi to 40,000 psi. With that kind of power, we have not encountered any task that could not be accomplished quickly. With the ancillary equipment we have available, we can clean floors, linesexchangers, tanks, ducts, and many other items too numerous to outline.

Freightliner High Rail Vacuum Truck

Our Huber High Rail is a rail-ready, boom-equipped, self-contained vacuum truck that uses vacuum power to remove contaminated and unwanted materials from track beds. Unlike other vacuum trucks configured solely for track use, the Huber HighRail industrial vacuum truck operates on both rail and road.
