Industrial Vacuums

INDUSTRIAL VACUUM RENTALSFor Rent Nationwide

Vacuums are extremely useful when reclaiming spent abrasives from a blasted area or removing roof rock, hazardous wastes, and other materials from your job site. Benefits when you rent an industrial vacuum include, but are not limited to better efficiency of your workforce, removing material from hard-to-reach places without using techniques of the past and quickly relocating material to a central location on your job site.

Regardless of the industry, location, and electrical power constraints, we have industrial vacuum rentals that can provide you with the flexibility and performance to increase your bottom line while reducing the effort of your workforce.

WORKFORCE EFFICIENCY

By renting an industrial vacuum, you no longer need several employees to shovel spent abrasive or other materials. One person can now do the job of several. When you no longer have multiple employees doing this type of manual labor, you avoid the associated risk of injury or downtime that comes along with this type of scenario. These two factors alone always result in a better bottom line for your company.

NO MORE BUCKETS OR WHEELBARROWS

Shoveling spent material into buckets or wheelbarrows from your job site and into super sacks for disposal is inefficient. One hose into almost any location can transport material exponentially faster and safer than multiple trips from multiple employees via manual labor. One hose and one roll-off dumpster will allow you to work smarter, not harder.

CENTRAL DEPOSIT AREA

With industrial vacuum rentals, you can raise the baghouse to allow the vacuum to dump the spent material into one central area, such as a roll-off. The need for constantly moving abrasive around until you’re ready to remove it from a job site is no more. Simply vacuuming up the abrasive and dumping it into a roll-off allows you to use fewer people and only touch the spent material once.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT INDUSTRIAL VACUUMWhat do you need to consider for your next project?

WHAT TYPES OF DEBRIS OR MATERIALS WILL YOUR VACUUM COLLECT?

Determining the type of material you intend to collect is important in selecting an appropriate industrial vacuum. Factors such as particle size, weight, and whether the material is hazardous or non-hazardous will dictate the necessary features and specifications of the vacuum. For instance, if you’re collecting heavy scrap metal or metal chips, you’ll need a vacuum with excellent suction power and durable construction to handle the weight and abrasiveness of the materials. Similarly, if you’re dealing with fine dust or powders like paint powder or flour, a vacuum with high filtration capabilities such as HEPA filtration may be required to ensure effective containment and prevent airborne particles. Understanding the specific material being collected allows for the precise matching of vacuum features to the application’s requirements, ensuring optimal performance, and safety.

WHAT SUCTION POWER WILL YOU NEED?

When seeking a high-performance, heavy-duty industrial vacuum cleaner, relying solely on the motor’s horsepower to gauge its power can be misleading. One important aspect to consider is the vacuum’s airflow, measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) – this determines its ability to draw and collect particles. Higher CFM ratings indicate greater capacity for picking up fine powders like flour or dust particles. Additionally, take a look at the static lift of the vacuum, especially for applications involving heavy materials or liquids. Vacuums with high lift specifications excel at lifting dense substances like water, complementing their CFM rating. Considering these factors is essential when determining the suction power required for various tasks, whether it involves cleaning dust particles, construction debris, or other waste.

WHAT DRUM MAXIMUM CAPACITY WILL YOUR NEXT PROJECT REQUIRE?

Determining the drum maximum capacity required for your project involves considering several factors. First, assess the type and volume of materials you’ll be handling. Industrial vacuums offer capacities ranging up to 55 gallons, suitable for both wet and dry loads. If you anticipate dealing with substantial volumes of debris or liquids, opting for a larger capacity vacuum can streamline operations and minimize downtime for emptying. Next, factor in the size of your workspace and maneuverability requirements. While larger vacuums may offer higher capacities, they might pose logistical challenges in tight spaces. Conversely, smaller vacuums are more maneuverable but may lack the capacity for extensive cleaning tasks. Balancing these considerations ensures you select a vacuum with an appropriate drum capacity that meets your current needs while allowing room for future expansion or changes in workload. Additionally, evaluating mobility features such as wheel size, handle design, and overall weight ensures the vacuum can be easily maneuvered both indoors and outdoors, enhancing overall efficiency in your workplace.

WHEN CHOOSING AN INDUSTRIAL VACUUM FOR CONSTRUCTION SITES, WHAT ARE SOME BEST-IN-CLASS FEATURES TO CONSIDER?

CFM and Static Lift are crucial for a construction vacuum, but there’s more to the story! Here are some of the best features to consider to optimize your industrial vacuum for an industrial/construction site:

  • Power Source: Think portability vs. convenience. Electric vacuums offer quieter operation and are ideal for sites with reliable power. Diesel models provide portability and are lifesavers for jobs without readily available electricity.

  • Filtration: HEPA filtration is a MUST for construction sites. It captures even the finest dust particles, protecting workers’ health and air quality. This is especially important when dealing with hazardous materials like lead paint or asbestos.

  • Durability: Construction is tough. Choose a vacuum built to withstand heavy use, bumps, and debris. Look for a sturdy steel construction and consider features like replaceable filters and liners for extended life.

  • Maneuverability: Easy movement around the job site is key. Consider a vacuum with a lightweight design, easy-to-maneuver wheels, and a comfortable handle. Swivel casters provide extra agility in tight spaces.

  • Ease of Use: Keep your crew productive. Look for a vacuum with intuitive controls and user-friendly features. This minimizes training time and ensures safe and efficient operation.

  • Noise Level: Especially in noise-sensitive areas, consider noise reduction features. This creates a more comfortable work environment for your crew and can help with noise ordinance compliance.

By prioritizing these features alongside CFM and Static Lift, you’ll find the perfect industrial vacuum to keep your construction site clean, safe, and efficient. Remember, MES offers a wide range of construction-grade vacuums to suit any project. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs!

NEEDING A VACUUM TO TACKLE CONSTRUCTION DUST AND DEBRIS. WHAT FEATURES ARE UNIQUE TO CONSTRUCTION VACUUMS?

Construction projects generate a lot of unique challenges, and construction vacuums are designed to address them head-on. Here are some key features you won’t find on just any industrial vacuum:

  • Debris Capacity: Construction sites are messy. Construction vacuums typically have large capacity drums to handle the significant amount of waste generated during a project, minimizing how often you’ll need to empty the machine.

  • Wet/Dry Capability: Versatility is key. Many construction vacuums can handle both wet and dry materials. This lets you clean up liquid spills alongside dust from sanding drywall or other tasks, all with one machine.

  • Automatic Shut-Off: Protects the motor from burnout. Construction vacuums often have automatic shut-off features that prevent the motor from overloading when dealing with heavy debris.

  • Durable Hose and Attachments: Construction environments are tough on equipment. Look for vacuums with hoses and attachments built to last. Reinforced materials resist tears and punctures from sharp debris commonly found on construction sites.

These features will ensure you choose a construction-specific vacuum that tackles the unique challenges of your job site and keeps your project running smoothly.
