The Southland Field Days ran from 12 to 14 February in Waimumu (near Gore). Although the weather was extremely blustery and wet the event was a success with attendees in high spirits.
Products on display included hot water pressure cleaners, water blasters and , but it was the 4018 Draintamer that received particular interest from attendees and has subsequently sold to Waihape Excavation & Drainage Ltd in Nightcaps, Southland.
This trailer mounted drain cleaner boasts a number of great features including, a hydraulically actuated 7 position hose reel, 3 button wireless remote control, narrow track configuration which allows access to otherwise impossible to reach places, as well as 1100L on board water tank, jump jet pulsation system and lockable tool boxes on both sides. Unique to the Kerrick Draintamer is its ‘run dry’ pump which allows running the pump even when all water has been used, so operators no longer have to worry about retrieving hoses after using all available water.
