Exciting times recently at UTS as we handed over a high specification ROM SmartCombi Pro unit to Dublin City Council surface water department. This compact machine will carry out gully and drain cleaning in the same way that the largest vehicles do but thanks to its compact design it can reach areas that traditional gully trucks cannot.
With a jetting performance of 72 l/min at 200 Bar the operator can choose to operate via the 120m jetting hose reel or via the high-pressure circuit on the suction boom. The liquid ring vacuum pump delivers 9600 l/min air flow, an impressive suction capability on a vehicle of this size. In addition to the various suction and discharge connections on the tank, the suction boom offers unparalleled reach to either side as well as to the front and rear of the vehicle. This boom is also fully powered meaning that the operator can carry out their work with much less manual handling than traditional gully booms, the radio remote and hydraulics do all the work instead!
The unique design of the ROM SmartCombi Pro ensures a high payload even on smaller chassis cab units. The tank has been designed with a sloped partition which not only helps balance the weight onboard but when emptying the tank via the electro-mechanical opening rear tank door the debris slides out without the necessity of a piston or tipping gear.
Further features include radio remote control with display, meterage counter, bespoke storage solutions, lighting package, handwash station, under tank drawer units, charging areas for cameras and tools and a heated clothes locker for workwear.

After working with their first Rausch Camera systems for several years already, we were delighted to see M&T Plant Hire come back again to add an even larger Rausch Mobile Pro Camera system to their fleet.

The Mobile Pro system includes the C90 and C135 crawlers as well as the KS 60 DB and KS 135C Pan, Tilt and Zoom camera heads. The system has an operating range from 100mm up to 2500mm and a 300m reach. The camera heads are equipped with high intensity LED lighting and high quality imaging modules delivering crisp and clear survey videos. There are a host of features integrated in the Rausch system to make operation safer and easier as well as more productive, pipe diameter changes can be carried out in seconds thanks to the single fixing stackable wheel system and quick connect camera and riser attachments. The cable management system at the rear of each crawler offers unrivalled protection to the cable to avoid cuts and breaks, and the auto steer, cruise control and camera macro functions make for efficient and easy surveying.

“We have found the Rausch camera systems to be an excellent choice for us, the equipment is reliable and is powerful enough to carry out even the most difficult surveys. The system is user friendly, and our customers are very happy with the high quality of our surveys. The service at UTS is also an important factor, they know what they are doing, and this gives us the peace of mind that if we need service or repair the downtime will be minimised” – Pat Redmond, M&T Plant Hire

The Team at UTS would like to thank M&T Plant Hire for their continued business over the years and wish them all the best with their new Rausch Mobile Pro Camera System.

UTS were delighted to recently complete the installation, training and handover of a ROM EcoFit to Meath Jetting Services Ltd. The company is no stranger to the powerful ROM EcoFit machines as they already run multiple EcoFit units in their fleet. The ROM EcoFit is the most powerful and advanced van pack model in the ROM range and has been nicknamed by many across Europe as “The Beast”.

The machine boasts a 60hp Stage V Kubota diesel engine powering a 200 Bar 100 l/min Speck Pump. The stage V engine meets the latest industrial engine emission requirements. The triple reel package includes two High pressure hose reels as well as a filling hose reel and the swing out and swivel frame ensure efficient and easy operation in all type of working conditions. This EcoFit includes a host of extras including the top of the range Heavy Duty Radio remote with LCD information display and automatic hose layering system.

The EcoFit was installed and tested at the UTS workshop in line with the manufacturer guidelines and the completed vehicle has been further equipped with additional storage solutions underneath the machine. This vehicle is configured to deal with a wide range of work including CCTV and drain unblocking in a fast and efficient manner day or night.

“Many years ago Meath Jetting Services started out with a ROM EcoFit, it was one of the first EcoFit machines UTS sold in Ireland. Although their business has expanded over the years and they now have a wide range of machinery and equipment in the fleet, it is great to see Tom and Barry coming back for another new EcoFit, this shows that the EcoFit continues to be a valuable machine in any company.” Said Mike Sheehy, Managing Director, UTS

We were delighted to recently deliver another Wiedemann Super 1000-OW to Walsh Waste in Galway. Walsh Waste are no strangers to the Wiedemann range of vehicles having already built up a significant fleet of Wiedemann trucks over the years ranging from Recyclers, to Specialist ADR and Jet-Vac units. During this delivery we were happy to surprise them with a second truck delivery, also in their eye-catching company colours, albeit a model one!

This latest Wiedemann addition to the fleet is built on a Mercedes Actros 2543 which was supplied by Kinahan Commercials. The vehicle has been designed to maximise tank volume while at the same time minimising the wheelbase, making it highly manoeuvrable even in tight city streets or country lanes and driveways.

The high efficiency Wiedemann liquid-ring vacuum pump delivers 3000 m3/hr and the 25m length of primary suction hose is quickly, safely and easily deployed via the combined boom which has a significant reach to the rear and either side of the vehicle. The secondary suction hose reel mounted on the side of the vehicle holds over 30m of suction hose and is electro-hydraulically operated. Whether tank emptying or deep lift applications, this truck certainly has the power and the reach to get the job done.

On the High pressure side the vehicle is equipped with a URACA KD 716 delivering 333 l/min at 170 Bar. Hose reels include 220m of 1” hose as well as 100m of ½” hose, all hose reels have automatic hose layering equipment as well as meter counting systems. As is the case with all jetting machines, the jetting system is not complete without a suitable range of nozzles. Walsh Waste are certainly equipped to tackle even the most difficult jobs with the comprehensive range of nozzles on-board such as high efficiency desilting and blockage nozzles as well as the hugely powerful ENZ Bulldog Nozzle.

The 13,000 litre fully stainless steel tank is divided between water and sludge using the Wiedemann hydraulic piston. This piston system offers significant operational and safety benefits over conventional vacuum/pressure operated piston systems. The hydraulic piston can be positioned at any point along the tank and not just at pre-defined locking points, this means that the operator can choose from an almost infinite amount of tank division ratios.

Emptying debris from the tank is also a much more controlled and safer activity than with conventional pistons, the hydraulic piston pushes the debris from the tank in a controlled manner right to the very end of the tank. There is no risk of “piston slap”, this can happen with conventional pistons as the pressure behind the piston causes it to “jump” and collide at speed with the piston stoppers at the rear of the tank. Generally when this happens the piston itself becomes damaged and has to be removed from the tank to be repaired. It is clear that Walsh Waste place a high regard on safety and efficient operations when we see them incorporate such technologies as the hydraulic piston in their vehicles. The piston is completely automated, the piston position can be set and monitored on the LCD information display screen at the control panel.

To further enhance the safety, welfare and comfort of the operator, the vehicle includes various equipment such as heated clothes lockers, hydraulic lifting winch, bespoke storage locker solutions, Full radio remote with LCD information display panel, Hygiene station and all around work zone lighting package.

UTS would like to thank Walsh Waste for their continued business and wish them the best of luck with this latest addition to their ever growing fleet of Wiedemann trucks.
