Vacuum Tanker Hire

NQIS provides professional vacuum tanker hire for complex industrial cleaning operations across the UK, with particular expertise in quarrying and associated industries. 

Our high-capacity DISAB vacuum tankers are designed to safely remove, transport and manage large volumes of material where manual handling or conventional methods are impractical, unsafe or inefficient. DISAB is widely recognised as the industry leader in high-performance vacuum tanker and industrial vacuum technology.

What Is Vacuum Tanker Hire?

Vacuum tanker hire is the use of a specialist industrial vehicle capable of sucking up, transporting and discharging large quantities of dry or wet material. At NQIS, our vacuum tankers are hired with fully trained operatives, ensuring work is carried out safely, efficiently and in line with all relevant health and safety regulations.

This service is commonly used where:

  • Material volumes are too large for manual clearance
  • Access is restricted or difficult
  • Hazardous or dusty materials must be controlled
  • Equipment downtime needs to be minimised

Specialist Silo Cleaning & Blockage Clearance

NQIS provides specialist silo vacuuming and blockage clearance as part of both planned maintenance and emergency call-outs. In most cases, material is vacuumed directly from the silo exit point using a DISAB vacuum tanker.

Where material has compacted or hardened inside the silo, we use gyro whip cleaning, accessing the silo from the top to loosen build-up. Once released, material drops to the base and is safely vacuumed out, restoring flow and maximising silo efficiency with minimal downtime.
