High Power Portable VS Truckmount Operating costs.

RE: Portables or Truckmount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does $4/gallon actually cost you on a unit that is being used even 5 hours per day, 25 days per month(industry average)?

If you have a unit that burns 2 gal/hr(many do) for 5 hrs per day, the math looks like this:

5 hrs @$4/gal X 2 gal/hr = $40/day X 25 days/mo = $1000/month

Don't forget that the vehicle you drive could be using almost as much gas as this, depending how far you drive to do your jobs. So some of you will be burning $2000 worth of gas in total. Some less, some more.


Rather than have to pay that much money to fuel a gas powered machine, why not switch to an electric powered one that will let you save that money? Gas is not going to stop at $4 either. When it gets to $8/gal your TM costs go to $2000/mo and your total cost for TM and vehicle go to $4000/month. Think you can handle $4000/month in your expense colume just for gas every month? I think you know that many will not. Try passing on that cost to your customers, and they will do without your services.

There is an economical alternative out there. Our Ultima Electric TM costs only $4995 to purchase and is the strongest electric TM in the world. It has 4 3 stage vacuum motors in it, and comes equipped with APO and fill capabilities built in. When you need to use it as a portable machine where TMs can't go, you wheel it out of your van into the building or house and run it there. It then becomes the most powerful portable machine in the world. And you save the $1000/month in gas you may be burning now, and the even greater amount you will be burning in the future until you make the switch.

This machine will be featured at connections this year, so you need to get to that show to see it in action. As gas moves towards $12/gal in the years ahead, this is going to be THE MACHINE to have in this industry. The sooner you see that, the sooner you start saving $1000 or more per month.

In this world, it is eat or be eaten. Which do YOU want to be?

The thing Kenny isn't telling anyone is that he has the weakest waterlift on the market. What next, a porty with a 400 gal solution tank and a 10 gal recovery tank?

With 4 vacuums in parallel as described on your site?  Bull! There isn't a A-L 3stage vacuum that pulls that much. You are such a dishonest POS, Kenny.

Oh my, Kenny caught in a lie

Ken.. I have in my Van next to my TM a R e c o i l..The most powerful porty in the land..  I am very versatile.. Or the Recoil can be loaded in a more economical vehicle if gas went up to 12 bucks..

John, you will not have the most powerful porty in the land till you own a Titan. Everything else is at best, second best!

You cannot get maximum cfm and maximum lift at the SAME time, as you well know. It's one or the other, but not both.However, I will tell you this machine generates almost 2000 air watts of power, and that is higher than any other portable can do by a wide margin.
