Things to consider when purchasing a heavy-duty septic truck

A few of the things to look for when you're purchasing the reasonably priced Mack septic truck for sale include:

• Axles - The more axles, the bigger load you can carry. If you really want to get into heavy-duty septic pumping and hauling, then look into tri-axle and quad-axle trucks, which are costlier but potentially worth it in the long run.
• Horsepower - High horsepower engines will help keep you from straining your engine. Remember, liquid waste is very heavy to pump and transport. The more horsepower you've got, the easier time your engine will have, and the longer it will last.
• Condition - Make sure to check the mileage and condition of the engine, tires, transmission, and other important automotive functions. Additionally, don't forget to check out the condition of the tank as well. Make sure there's no corrosion or rust anywhere on the tank and find out what shape the vacuum pump is in.

What size tank is best for heavy-duty septic trucks?

When it comes to heavy-duty septic trucks, the bigger the tank size, the better. Larger tanks may cost you more in the short term; however, over time, you'll make that money back. Having a smaller tank means you'll need to empty it more, which will cost you more in fuel costs and man-hours. If your dumpsite is far from your job site, then you'll be burning through resources when you're coming and going. Try to purchase a 3,000-3,300-gallon tank to start to help keep costs low.

What material is best for heavy-duty septic truck tanks?

Most affordable septic tanks for sale are made of either carbon steel or aluminum. Many septic professionals prefer carbon steel because it is more durable than aluminum and can last longer with proper care. However, other professionals like aluminum because it's lightweight and puts less stress on the truck. The lighter aluminum tanks will also save you money on gasoline or diesel.
