Where it works
A honey sucker truck unit is how many municipalities and contractors in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and the Eastern Cape build an affordable sanitation truck: buy a used 4 or 8 tonne truck and bolt this on. It handles VIP toilet programmes, school and clinic pit toilets, and conservancy tanks on estates and farms.
See every size in our honey suckers range. Wear gloves, boots and eye protection on every job, and hose down with disinfectant before you drive off.

Questions about this product
What truck do I need for 2500 L?
Full, the unit weighs roughly 2,790 kg. A truck with at least a 4 tonne payload gives you a safe margin for crew, hoses and fuel. Bolt the steel frame through the deck or use rated chains, and check that the truck licence and roadworthy cover the extra load.
Why a trash pump instead of a vacuum system?
A trash pump is simpler and cheaper to own. There is no vacuum pump, oil separator or pressure-rated tank to look after, and spares are easy to find. It moves about 50,000 L/h on clean water and keeps going on thick sludge, provided you keep suction lifts short and the filter clear.
Can I start a septic tank pumping business with this?
Many small operators do. Before you take paying jobs, register with your local municipality, confirm where you may discharge and what it costs, and keep protective gear and disinfectant on the vehicle. Price per load, and remember travel to the disposal site often takes longer than the pumping.
How much is delivery to Bushbuckridge?
Nothing. At R41,759.55 VAT incl. this unit is over our R20,000 free-delivery mark on its own, so we bring it to Bushbuckridge at no charge. It ships at 286 kg on a Kamano truck from Polokwane and normally arrives in 1 to 3 days. Tell us about any tricky access road when you order.
