Cappellotto CAP Combi – a four-axle jetting-vacuum sewer vehicle with a 12.7-litre six-cylinder engine, 27,500 kg gross weight and around 9,470 kg payload
Cappellotto is an Italian manufacturer of sewer-cleaning and combination jetting-vacuum vehicles. The CAP COMBI is a combination vehicle that unites high-pressure jetting with vacuum extraction in a single body, letting it clean sewers and remove the flushed material at the same time. The vehicle is built on a heavy four-axle truck chassis with a gross vehicle weight of 27,500 kg.

The six-cylinder engine of the carrier chassis has a displacement of 12,742 cm³. At a kerb weight of 18,030 kg, payload comes to around 9,470 kg for the water, sludge and flush tanks and the pump equipment. Overall length is 9,550 mm, wheelbase 5,500 mm and width 2,550 mm. Eight wheels on four axles match the 8x4 axle formula typical of heavy municipal vehicles in this weight class; top speed is limited to 90 km/h.
At a gross vehicle weight of 27,500 kg, the vehicle falls into EU class N3, above 12,000 kg, and requires a category C driving licence. Combined jetting-vacuum vehicles of this kind are used by municipalities, water utilities and specialist contractors to clean sewers, gullies and pipelines, replacing separate jetting and vacuum vehicles with a single combined unit.
For a used jetting-vacuum vehicle of this type, check the condition and wear of the high-pressure pump and vacuum unit, the tightness of tanks, hoses and valves, the condition of the frame and axles at this high gross weight, and the operation of the air brake system on all four axles. Since the pump equipment sees heavy use in continuous operation, its service history is especially informative when buying.
