SkyVac 85

The World's Most Incredible Mobile Gutter Cleaning System

The SkyVac® 85 Elite System now comes standard with an upgraded wire-reinforced hose and the 135 degree Hairpin Neck.

The model is available with or without the drain hose & sieve basket.

Note: System requires a 220-240v electrical source, which typically means a generator with a minimum 6500 starting watts. Comes with standard North American L14, 4-prong twist-lock plug.  The minimum generator size should be a 6500 peak or starting watts. We recommend slightly more because not all generators are created equally.

Overview

The SkyVac® Industrial 85 Elite Wet & Dry Vacuum has been specially designed to clear even the most stubborn blocked gutters. It features 3 industrial strength 1,100 watt motors and combines high airflow with exceptional water lift. The unique patented "POWERMIX" system reconfigures the power supply from parallel to series to drive unparalleled water lift up to 150 inches.

The vacuum head has been designed to take up minimal drum space, allowing for 16 gallons of gutter debris capacity (overall 20 gallon drum). The filter is protected by a curved steel deflector plate which lines up with the cyclonic vac entry port and helps guide debris around the drum.

The drum is easy to empty thanks to an evenly balanced tipping chassis with locking casters. Simply unclip and remove the motor head, place it on the ground (thanks to the steel foot on the filter protector plate) and tip out the drum contents.

Optional: For geographically wet areas upgrade your system to an optional drum with a built-in drain hose and sieve basket. This upgrade separates the gutter contents into liquid and organic matter as opposed to a collective gutter soup.

Key Features

• Three Industrial strength vacuum motors provide massive suction power: 150 inches of water lift.
• Two Power settings: A "Light Debris" setting for standard gutter cleaning and "Heavy Debris" setting for stubborn growth and blockages
• Side debris canister entrance eliminates time consuming filter blockages by creating a vortex for the debris, spreading it out evenly in the base of the drum.
• Stainless steel canister tilts for easy dumping of debris
• Washable HEPA style wet/dry cartridge filter
• Locking front chassis castors
• Removable and washable filter housed securely behind a protection plate for minimal maintenance
• Wire-reinforced suction hose increases durability and reduces operator fatigue
• Anti-clog rigid neck hairpin tool improves productivity

Filter

The SkyVac® 85 has a very durable wet/dry HEPA style filter located under the head. It is easily removed by the twist of a knob. It is very durable and lasts quite a long time if properly cleaned after each day's use.
