New Mercedes 41T Suction Excavator joins the Force One Ltd Fleet

A new 41T suction / vacuum excavator has been supplied to us from German manufacturers and arrived into the UK in time to attend the Southern Water Supply Chain and H&S Conference where Force One Ltd were available to demonstrate the new machine alongside the Speedy Hire display area.

Being the most powerful machine of its type in the UK, the 41T excavator has triple fans that can be used at full capacity, twin fans or simply using the single fan depending on the task in hand.

This provides greater flexibility due to the three options of use and can provide added power for more demanding work sites or depending on the type of material being excavated.


Specialist extension hoses can be used on this machine allowing material to be excavated over a greater distance.

The new suction / vacuum excavator will be appearing at the NO DIG LIVE SHOW 2012 between 2nd October - 4th October at Stoneleigh Park, Nr Coventry. Look out for us on the outside stand: 11

Gas Terminal Excavation

Here we have a sensitive excavation site that involved laying ducting and high voltage cables across the main site.

The length of this job covered approximately a four week period using our 25 tonne vacuum /suction excavator with spark arresting equipment and a power arm to enable greater movement of the hose. Non conductive nozzles were designed specifically for the job in varying lengths to enable a range of depths for digging - up to 2 metres in depth in some areas.

The specifically designed nozzles allowed a safer approach for the operator as it prevented the need for him to be in the excavation site, instead he was able to operate the hose and nozzles from the edge of the excavation site using the remote control device. This also eliminated the requirements for the necessity of confined space operative card holders.
