American Caddy Vac cleaning units come standard with a rear suction inlet in the hose storage compartment. But many of our customers prefer the option of side suction doors. One popular configuration is to go with two suction security doors with two elbows, giving you three options for suction inlets: the right side, the left side, or the rear. The side inlets are protected by secure doors. This makes life so much simpler for your operators in several ways:
First, when they arrive at the job, parking is simpler! No need to figure out how to minimize the hose run through parking the unit in just the right spot.
Second, if you can run your hose from either side of the truck, it can significantly shorten how much hose you need to run. This can potentially extend the life of your hoses as well.
Third, if you can run your hose from the side of the truck, you don’t have to unload all the hose from the hose compartment like you do if you are running from a rear suction inlet. You only need to remove the number of sections of hose that you need.
And finally, it saves wear and tear on your crew! They only unload as much hose as they need and they don’t have to climb in and out of the back storage unit to connect and disconnect the hose from the suction inlet.
Having two suction security doors just makes things run smoother, saving time and money along the way!
