THE VEHICLE
This Shacman Delong 4x2 vacuum sewage truck is a mid-size workhorse for municipal sanitation departments, septic service companies and industrial parks. Its 12 m³ tank handles several household or commercial septic tanks per trip, and the two-axle layout stays easier to maneuver in city streets than a three-axle tanker.
The tank measures 4,950 × 2,000 × 1,850 mm and is formed from 6 mm Q235 carbon steel with anti-rust treatment. Suction comes from an SK-15 water-ring vacuum pump, and an anti-overflow valve protects the pump when the tank is full. A tank lifting system is available to tip the body so thick sludge drains through the rear. On the chassis side, the truck has a 3,950 mm wheelbase, an 8-speed manual gearbox, 10.00R20 18PR tires and multi-leaf springs, with axle ratings of 6,500 kg front and 11,500 kg rear. Gross vehicle weight is 18,000 kg and curb weight is 8,650 kg.
Typical duties include emptying septic tanks and cesspits, clearing sludge from sewer wells and storm drain sumps, and moving wastewater from factories to treatment plants. Overall size is 7,800 × 2,500 × 3,520 mm with approach and departure angles of 21° and 14°. Emission levels from Euro 2 to Euro 6 can be specified for the destination market, and the tank can be built as one body or split into compartments.

IN THE FIELD
The 12 m³ tank covers several household or commercial septic tanks on one route.
The SK-15 water-ring pump lifts sludge and silt from sewer wells and storm drain sumps.
The sealed carbon steel tank moves light industrial wastewater from plants to treatment facilities.
BEFORE YOU ORDER
It handles septic waste, sewer sludge, river silt, livestock wastewater, construction slurry, grease sediment and light industrial wastewater.
Yes. The vacuum pump draws waste in and pressurizes the tank to push it out, and the large rear door helps clear thick sludge. One operator can run the job.
The integral tank is formed from 6 mm Q235 carbon steel with anti-rust treatment and measures 4,950 × 2,000 × 1,850 mm.
Yes. Tank size can be adjusted to order, and the tank can be built as one body or divided into separate sections.
KNOW YOUR NEXT TRUCK
How suction trucks, high-pressure sewer jetters and combination units divide the work, why suction lift stops near 10 m, and how to read tank volume, vacuum pump and water pump figures before you order.
We compare the three pump types used on sewage trucks, show the water-ring models fitted across our 4 m³ to 17 m³ vacuum trucks, and explain airflow, vacuum and fill-time figures.
An exhauster in Nairobi, a septic tanker in Lagos and a vacuum truck in a catalogue are the same machine. This guide explains how it empties a pit, which tank size suits which round, what the pump figures mean and what makes one quotation higher than another.
