I do not want to start portable Truckmount Debate

But if some poor old age pensioner was to spend part of his pennsion buy the Alltec triple Vac  which bit gives the Truckmount performance as keeps flashing before me

Is there any difference from the previous triple vac ? 
I think to claim TM performance you would have to raise the HG beyond the 10HG or so  max possible with a three vac parallel system .
But im sure its a beautifully built machine and as powerfull as any available  ... also you would need a ramp ?  for easy loading .

I was talking to Chris at Tacca day and he stated that he'd got more performance from redesigning it had been tested by other cleaners and they said it had made a distinct difference (no percentages were mentioned) from their other machines which I suspect were alltec triple vacs.

Like John says well made machine good looking as well.

 wonder what the performance tweak is .
I would just stick in three conical electros ...  but im not sure if they'd do that .

Hi Ian you are welcome to pop in any time and try out the triple vac against some of our other machines, or if you are free come and see us on our open day. 

John, the triple has been re designed to make it easier for the end user to work on, the extra performance came from removing some of the airflow restrictions in the old model, unfortunately using high power Electro motors would take us over 13amps.

Interesting ... 13 is a frustrating number to have to stick to when the better vacs combine at just a bit more .

Chris,

I a few years ago you said that the Triple Vac was bit heavy for an old guy like me

So I would need ramps etc.  Elsewhere I passed a comment about the 600psi being for hard floors , but how long would a full tank last?

As you know I made last years open day after going to Watford for a piece of equipment  which was a bit further than I realised and then getting caught in a jam on M25  due to a really hot blistering day and missed out on lunch yet again and I am still haunted by those pictures of Paul P trimming the hedge

Ian why not have a smaller water pump fitted? It may make it lighter.

if i did that i might just aswell put a boaster on my present machine I could use a biscuit tin to make it as Mike recommended a few years ago.#


But i still would like to know how long tank lasts when doing hard floor or do you have a contentious feed
