Slide-in units are popular among all kinds of businesses — new, established, small and large. These compact vacuum tanks are an affordable alternative to pumper trucks and can be easily transferred between pickups or flatbed trucks.
If you’re new to slide-in vacuum tanks, you’ve come to the right place. We created the infographic below that shows the components of a slide-in unit. It provides an overview of how units are designed and the kinds of features they include. The unit shown is from PolyJohn’s PRO Slide-In Series, but of course, the design and features of slide-ins will vary slightly depending on the manufacturer and model.
