Cleaning vehicles – advantages and disadvantages

Vehicle type	Advantages	Disadvantages
Suction vehicles	Storage tank only used for the collected waste material.	__
High-pressure flushing vehicles	High flush water purity, low wear, and "no clogging of nozzle openings" (possible issues when using water from open sources).	Interruptions of the cleaning process due to water refilling, drinking water consumption, used only in combination with a flushing vehicle.
Combined high-pressure flushing and suction vehicles	Only one vehicle necessary for the entire cleaning operation, high flush water purity, low wear and "no clogging of nozzle openings" (possible issues when using water from open sources).	Interruptions of the cleaning process due to water refilling, drinking water consumption, shorter duration of flushing as high-pressure flushing vehicle.
Combined high-pressure flushing and suction vehicles with water treatment technology	Continuous flushing duration is only limited by the capacity of the waste storage tank.	Low flush water purity, greater wear, risk of nozzle openings blockage, high maintenance.
