Seamless Integration
The Service Body VMS Skid, Diesel is powered by a reliable Kubota 4-stroke diesel engine, matched to the vehicle’s engine type. The skid draws fuel directly from the truck, eliminating the need for separate refueling. Like all Wachs skid platforms, it comes preinstalled and prewired, with valve maintenance components such as the vacuum system, water supply, spoils tank, and hydraulic power unit (HPU) mounted on a durable steel skid. The unit is ready to bolt down to the service body with all mechanical, fluid, and electrical connections preconfigured.
Customizable Equipment
The Service Body Skid can be configured with a variety of valve exercisers, vacuum systems with powered spoils tanks, hot water systems, and more. Standard equipment includes:
The integrated HPU (Hydraulic Power Unit) features an HTMA Class II circuit with a 10-gallon reservoir, fan-cooled heat exchanger, and continuous-duty output of 8 GPM @ 2,000 PSI. It powers the ERV-750, optional TM-7 valve exerciser, and accessory tools such as hydraulic breakers. Additional equipment includes a 50-foot hydraulic hose reel, programmable arrow board, and work lights.
