Equipment Report

Vecoplan LLC, High Point, N.C., unveiled its new mobile shredding system at the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) 2008 Annual Conference in Anaheim, Calif., in early April.

The VST-42e Mobile Document and Product Destruction System employs a compact, power-take-off- (PTO-) driven 180kVA generator to power its shredding system. Other features include QuickLink Plug-and-Play Docking technology and the TaskMaster Application Management System.

When deployed in the mobile mode, the PTO-driven compact generator provides power. The truck can also be used as a stationary system by plugging into three-phase industrial power.

The truck uses half the diesel of a traditional PTO-driven hydraulic shredder system, according to Vecoplan.
