How do you clean out grain receival boot pits? With a Big Brute of course!

Reach down into deep pits

CBH Merredin in Western Australia's Wheatbelt originally used the Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaners for cleaning out their grain receival boot pits in the late 1990's.

Traditional methods of having a two person operation with a bucket on a rope was replaced with a single man operation working from the top with a Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaner.

Since then, Big Brute Industrial Vacuum Cleaners are now used at a majority of CBH's inland grain receival sites and every port terminal on the coast.

Big Brutes are also cleaning out grain bootpits for Graincorp and other independent grain receival sites in New South Wales & Victoria.
