Great system. We have it onsite at Rubyanna WWTP, recommend them for any plants for the future or even retrofitting! Flawless and easy! Also recommend SPIROTAINER. Less than 5 minutes from entering site with one and leaving with a full one! Great idea guys.

Equipment works wonderfully at our plant to move biosolids for processing. No problems found so far, clean and low maintenance.
