DISAB Vacuuming & Bulk Waste Removal

Some jobs need more than a standard tanker. When you’re dealing with heavy powders, stubborn sludges or awkward spillages in hard-to-reach places, a DISAB vacuum tanker gives you the power and reach to clear it quickly and safely.

Telcoss runs specialist DISAB tanker units as part of our industrial services fleet, providing operated DISAB vacuum hire for sites across the UK. From plant clean-downs and shutdowns to emergency spill response, we’ll bring the kit, the crew and the know-how to get your site back to normal.

Marine Waste Removal, Disposal & Cleaning Services

Ports, terminals and waterside industrial sites need robust cleaning and waste removal to stay safe and compliant. Telcoss can deploy a DISAB vacuum tanker to support:

Quayside and jetty clean-ups
Cleaning around silos, conveyors and loading areas
Removal of grit, residues and dry cargo spillages
Tank, sump and bund cleaning at marine and coastal facilities

Using high-vacuum suction, our DISAB vacuum units lift material straight into the onboard tank for transport to authorised disposal or recovery outlets. That means quicker clean-ups, less manual handling and a tidier, safer working environment around the water.

What is a DISAB tanker – and when do you need one?

A DISAB unit is a high-powered industrial vacuum truck designed for heavy duty cleaning and bulk material handling. Unlike a standard tanker, an articulated DISAB vacuum can both suck and blow material, making it ideal when you need to:

Move tonnes of powder, granules or grit in a short time
Clear build-ups in silos, hoppers, bunkers and conveyors
Remove heavy sludges from pits, lagoons and tanks
Recover spillages from floors, structures and hard-to-reach areas

If the job would take days with shovels, skips and small vacuums, DISAB vacuum hire turns it into a single, controlled operation.

Where does DISAB vacuum hire make the biggest difference?

Telcoss provides operated DISAB vacuum tanker hire to many sectors, including:

Cement, concrete and aggregate plants
Steel and heavy manufacturing
Oil, gas and waste-to-energy facilities
Chemical and process industries
Power generation and utilities
Marine, port and waterside industrial sites

We’re often called in for shutdowns, turnarounds and major projects where plant needs to be stripped, cleaned and inspected to tight deadlines, as well as for one-off spillages and routine housekeeping.

How our DISAB vacuum service works

We keep DISAB work simple and safe from first call to final sign-off:

1. Assessment & planning
• We discuss what material you need to move, where it is and how much there is.
• If helpful, we visit site to check access, hose runs and any safety considerations.

2. Mobilising the DISAB tanker
• We select the right DISAB vacuum tanker and crew for your job.
• Our team arrives with hoses, tooling and all required PPE and permits.

3. Vacuum removal & clean-up
• Material is lifted using high-vacuum suction, often via a boom to reach silos, gantries or pits.
• We can work alongside other Telcoss services such as high-pressure water jetting, tank cleaning and drainage works for a complete solution.

4. Transport & disposal
• Collected waste is transported in the DISAB tank or transfer containers.
• We arrange compliant disposal or recovery and provide the necessary paperwork.
