Gully Emptier
{{unreferenced, date=September 2015 A gully emptier (colloquially: "gully sucker") is a type of specialized tank truck with suction gear which can suck wastewater and mud and sludge out of hollows such as the hollows below drain grids in street gutters and carry it to a suitable disposal point. It needs to be able to suck out and pump through into its tank any road grit and miscellaneous solids that have entered the hollow. Some have a means of squeezing the water from its load, and letting that water into the drain or keeping it for high pressure cleaning of drain pipes. Differences to vacuum truck A vehicle which is purely a vacuum truck has a long wide flexible hose without the big solid nozzle with controls on. Gully emptiers are often outfitted with devices to separate the liquid content of its tank from solid matter, allowing the liquids to run to storm drain. Since this is not done with cesspool content, cesspool emptiers have no need for such separative capability. Som ...

Military Trucks
A military, also known collectively as armed forces, is a heavily armed, highly organized force primarily intended for warfare. It is typically authorized and maintained by a sovereign state, with its members identifiable by their distinct military uniform. It may consist of one or more military branches such as an army, navy, air force, space force, marines, or coast guard. The main task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its interests against external armed threats. In broad usage, the terms ''armed forces'' and ''military'' are often treated as synonymous, although in technical usage a distinction is sometimes made in which a country's armed forces may include both its military and other paramilitary forces. There are various forms of irregular military forces, not belonging to a recognized state; though they share many attributes with regular military forces, they are less often referred to as simply ''military''. A nation's military may f ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
