Why Tank Heads Are Critical to the Vacuum Industry

The vacuum industry doesn’t slow down. Whether you're building units for environmental cleanup, industrial services, hydro-excavation, oil & gas, or municipal work, performance and safety start with the integrity of the tank itself. At the heart of every reliable vacuum tank is one essential component: the tank head.

Tank heads aren’t just “end caps.” They directly affect:

• Vacuum performance: Properly formed heads maintain pressure integrity in high-vacuum environments.

• Structural strength: Heads absorb and distribute stresses created during suction, transport, dumping, and pressurization cycles.

• Safety compliance: The correct material, thickness, and forming method ensure your equipment meets ASME, DOT, and industry requirements.

• Longevity & maintenance: High-quality heads reduce fatigue, warping, and cracking over years of demanding service.

  
  

For vacuum trucks, the design of the head directly impacts tank efficiency, weight, and life cycle. With the ability to add custom profiles to your heads, you can save time and remain confident that we will get your project done right. Our tank heads give you reliable, safe components you can count on, keeping your equipment running strong.
