PowerLIft Series

PowerLift Diesel & Propane Vacuum

For jobsites without electricity, PowerLift® portable industrial vacuums are available in diesel and propane models. They deliver a sound alternative with the same high-vacuum performance.

The PowerLift Diesel (PL-D) combines the reliability of a Tier 4 Final diesel engine with the extreme vacuum of a positive displacement vacuum pump. The PowerLift Propane (PL-P) is available as a 25 or 40 horsepower vacuum with a powerful positive displacement vacuum pump to move up to 6 tons per hour.

Our diesel vacuums are ideal for a wide range of industrial applications where access to electricity is not always convenient or possible. For example, gas-powered vacuums can be highly effective in hazardous waste remediation, where large quantities of contaminated soil and other pollutants must be removed from remote locations. Diesel engine vacuum pumps also serve an important function in the oil and gas sector, where they can be used to clean out frac tanks and other vessels in areas where there is no available power supply. Emptying out rail cars is another job in which our propane and diesel vacuum cleaners are often used.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OSHA’s silica dust standards?

OSHA’s current standards require employers to limit employees’ exposure to silica dust. This includes installing systems to capture dust before it leaves equipment. However, it also must include the use of industrial vacuum cleaners for silica dust to clean any that may escape from those collection systems.

For general industry applications, employers are required to protect workers from exposure to silica dust levels above the permissible exposure limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over an eight-hour day.

What should vacuums used to capture silica dust feature?

A vacuum for silica dust used in an industrial environment must include a high-efficiency particular air (HEPA) filter. This is a pleated filter that is capable of capturing particulates in the air as small as 0.3 microns.

A HEPA vacuum by definition should be able to remove at least 99.97% of dust and other airborne particles, leaving the air cleaner and preventing prolonged exposure to harmful contaminants. Choosing one of our high-efficiency particulate air vacuums provides your workplace with the highest levels of protection.

In which industries are employees potentially exposed to silica dust?

There is a chance of silica dust exposure in a wide range of industries. These include construction, mining, foundries, manufacturing, dentistry, and oil and gas extraction. Employers working in any of these fields should invest in industrial HEPA vacuum systems to reduce their risk.
