first appearance at an ISWM Show at this year's World Congress at Wembley between June 16-20.
It is claimed the high performance, self-contained Mk Three out-performs any conventional gully emptier by doing twice the average daily work load.
It is equipped with a built-in sewer jetter for pressure-drain cleaning, and a hydraulically powered grid lifter to make the operator's job less arduous.
The heart of the Mk Three's high performance is a 6in boom, big enough to suck all types of debris out of a gully, which is coupled to a 330/350 efm compressor which has enough power to empty a choked gully in one movement.
The sewer jetter has 200ft of hose, mounted on a hydraulically powered re-wind reel at the rear of the chassis, allowing it to be used either side of the vehicle. It is powered by a high pressure pump, normally 15gpm at 200 psi, protected by a filter, and driven by the vehicle's second PTO.
The Mk Three gully emptier is available on any chassis, and is fitted with 2LNC ram tipping gear. It does not replace the widely used Fergussons Mk Two which continues in production at Fergussons' main works in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
