Guzzler Manufacturing Introduces Camera System Option for Guzzler High-Rail Vacuum Loader

ST. CHARLES, Ill. - Dec. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- Guzzler Manufacturing, the world’s leader in industrial vacuum loaders, today introduced a camera system as an option for the Guzzler® High-Rail industrial vacuum loader. The three-camera system provides the operator with enhanced visibility to the operator location while the unit is vacuuming on railroad tracks and in switchyards.

“When operating with the rear-mounted controls on the vacuum loader on rails or in switch yards – especially in response to hazardous railroad spills or emergency situations – it can be difficult to see personnel or other rail-mounted vehicles on adjacent tracks,” said Ben Schmitt, product manager at Guzzler Manufacturing. “The Guzzler High Rail camera system significantly reduces blind spots for the operator during railway applications and increases safety by providing greater visibility to the overall surroundings, including oncoming personnel or traffic.”

The optional camera system includes a seven-inch, weatherproof LCD monitor and cameras mounted on the front and sides of the vacuum truck to provide a wide-area, real-time view of the Guzzler High-Rail loader surroundings, even during extreme weather conditions. The operator can easily monitor the view from each camera on the LCD screen simultaneously.

“Guzzler Manufacturing has been building and improving industrial vacuum equipment for more than 40 years,” Schmitt said. “We are committed to providing our railroad and rail contractor customers with solutions that result in the safe and efficient loading, offloading and transport of materials. The optional camera system on the Guzzler High-Rail vacuum loader delivers greater situational awareness, improving workplace safety, performance and productivity.”

Guzzler High-Rail for road and rail operation

The Guzzler High-Rail loader can be quickly converted to operate on both railways and roadways. Featuring a loading boom, hydrostatic creep drive and a rear-mounted operator chair, the Guzzler High-Rail loader uses vacuum power to quickly and efficiently remove ballast, contaminated materials and spills from railroad track beds. Material is stored in a large collection tank for subsequent treatment and disposal, or reuse.
