Type of Vehicle
Trucks offer greater payload capabilities, can be PTO generator adaptable, and are easier to maneuver on job-sites. Trailers are more versatile with a properly sized 4x4 pick-up truck and have lower operating costs, (i.e. licensing, taxes, maintenance & fuel).
Gross Vehicle Weight GVW
Trucks less than 26,000 lb. non-CDL, offer more flexibility with approved drivers, but have limitations on size and weight of machine with payload capacity (water and insulation). A truck without a lift tailgate is preferred to add several hundred lbs. capacity and allow easier accessibility to machine and pump controls. Trailers should have at least two (2) 6,000 lbs. axles to transport total payload on 16ft. trailer and higher GVW ratings for large trailers depending on machine size and total payload requirements. (Consult factory for recommendations. We offer turn-key solutions: customer supplied vehicle or assist with a solution that meets your needs and budget)
Box Size
Depends on size & type of equipment, accessories, and total fiber used on the job. Most average size jobs require 70 to 80 bags of fiber (cellulose) and 125 gallons of water. For smaller systems, a 7’ wide x 7’ high x 16 ft. long box will be adequate. For larger systems, an 8’ wide x 8’ high x 24’ long box will be needed.
Power Supply
To offer total independence, we recommend on-board portable generators for smaller vehicles and PTO generators (trucks only) and diesel gen-sets for our larger systems. Job-site power is also an option for our small and mid-sized systems, lowering your fuel and maintenance costs for generator.
Floor Plan
Our streamlined equipment designs offer ample isle space without the need for special access doors. For Trucks: equipment is mounted to rear of vehicle for ease of access and rear axle traction. For Trailers: equipment is positioned to offer tongue weight at trailer hitch which provides ease of handling when driving an empty trailer (no fiber or water). Just like a house, your floor plan needs to make sense, and not all customers’ needs are the same. Our experiences have allowed us to make some of the most efficient systems in the market. After all, what good is cramming all your equipment into a vehicle without ease-of use, efficiency, and room for fiber.
Add-on Options
As with our machines, there are many options you can choose to make your selection the ultimate mobile system. From various gas vacuums for insulation removal to wall scrubbers to finish that wall spray job, we have it all.
