In 1990, we built three units of the multi-purpose utility trucks for the Ministry of the Environment in Singapore. The purpose of these trucks is to attend to emergency repairs of sewer pipelines. The multi-purpose utility truck is hydraulically powered. Using the truck main propeller shaft, it is connected to 5 hydraulic pumps via a split shaft PTO. The features of the unit are: Two hydraulic hose-reels with a pair of 15 m long hoses each and complete with quick release couplings to power a chainsaw, trash pump, water pump, tamper, breaker etc. It also has a hydraulically powered blower with a 10 m flexible hose to pump fresh air into the manhole. Other features include an explosion-proof 230V lamp with 30 m of cable, 2 nos. of florescent lamps, collapsible ladder, water discharge hoses, external power supply etc.

The unit is designed to operate continuously for 24 hours at an ambient temperature of 35 degree without overheating.
