That's interesting, 'cos our local tool hire co is offering daily hire at £165/day +VAT. Let us all know how you get on with it 😉
Apparently it's around £450 for the week. This is a mega nightmare access job so the cost is easily justified.

We only had a little play with it this afternoon but it fired out around 3.5t in under an hour.

Tomorrow will be a busier day with it...but the sunshine may mean not too long either.🤪

days like these are why I would deff recommend a gripper with your tilty,
had to replace a failed filter bed - tank had never been maintained, prefilter in tank had been taken out and so consequently after months or years 🤷‍♂️ of sludge getting in it, sand filter was blocked, so with gripper I could sit in a nice splatter free environment and dig to then dismantle old chambers/geotextiles/pipeworks and then later pick it all up and put it into truck for recycling, only the gripper got covered in sludge and not us 👍

I worked for a local drainage firm briefly. My god ive never seen so much s**t in my life. The stench that comes out of the lorries when they hoover out the tanks is the worst.
Or maybe jetting the drains and when it clears, 12 turds come sailing by.
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
