Heating Up the Industry: Introducing the Powerful New Thermal Remediation Truck by Bed Bug Heat Doctor
Have you ever wished, in your pest control company, you didn’t have to lug around a cumbersome generator on a trailer that is exposed to the elements and possible theft? Have you ever considered owning a truck with a Power Take Off (PTO), including heaters and fans safely locked in the back of the truck cab?
Adding a PTO to a truck involves installing a mechanism that allows the transmission of power from the vehicle’s engine to auxiliary equipment or accessories. On the new Bed Bug Heat Doctor Thermal Remediation Truck, adding a PTO to a truck expands its functionality by allowing it to power additional equipment such as the 75kVA/60kW generator attached to truck’s undercarriage. Self-powered and self-contained, the truck is more versatile and useful for a variety of applications. The Anti-Theft Transmission Lock means you can leave the cab locked, engine running, generator and heaters on without worrying about drive-offs. This is the same technology used by first responders. The PTO can be added to a current Ford F-350, F-450, F-550 or F-600 diesel truck* or a new or used truck.
A PTO truck offers several benefits for Pest Control Operators (PCOs), particularly when compared to traditional pickup trucks or vans. Here are some of the advantages:
- Powerful Equipment Integration: PTO trucks are equipped with a power take-off system that allows direct connection to a generator under the truck that powers cords up to 900 feet (30+ story high-rise) which connect to distribution boxes which in turn connect to bed bug heaters to cover up to 3,200 square feet. This ensures efficient operation of the equipment without the need for separate power sources or generators.
- Increased Efficiency: With equipment directly powered by the truck’s engine, there’s no need to wait for additional power sources to start or operate. This can significantly increase operational efficiency, allowing PCOs to complete jobs more quickly and serve more clients in a given time frame.
- Cost Savings: PTO trucks eliminate the need for separate power generators or additional fuel sources, reducing operational costs for PCOs. It also eliminates extra trailers and cumbersome generators. Additionally, the integration of equipment onto the truck chassis can streamline maintenance and repairs, potentially lowering long-term costs.
- Versatility: PTO trucks are customized to provide power. This versatility allows PCOs to adapt to different job requirements and handle a wide range of pest control tasks effectively and efficiently.
- Improved Safety: Integrating pest control equipment onto a PTO truck reduces the need for manual handling and transport of heavy machinery, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries for technicians. Additionally, having all equipment securely mounted on the truck enhances overall safety during operation and transportation, as well as, less accidents while backing up or parking. With the weight of the BK10-480B heaters being only 26 pounds, in comparison to the EBB-460 which weighs 130 pounds or the Pest Pro Heater at 74 pounds, the safety and portability for your PCOs is much improved.
- Enhanced Professionalism: PTO trucks equipped with specialized pest control gear present a professional image to clients, instilling confidence in the PCO’s capabilities and commitment to quality service. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as potential referrals and repeat business.
- Environmental Considerations: PTO trucks can offer environmental benefits by reducing the need for additional fuel-powered equipment, leading to lower emissions and overall environmental impact. Additionally, efficient use of resources contributes to sustainable pest control practices. Reduction of loud, smokey, fuel burning generators is another positive.
Overall, PTO trucks provide pest control operators with a powerful, efficient, and versatile solution, with a four-heater set up to six- or eight-heaters. It offers benefits in terms of cost savings, efficiency, safety, and professionalism. Top of Form
