Requested by dealers and customers, the G7 Jetter made its debut this year. Like everything else GapVax builds, a variety of options allow for customizing the G7 to fit customers’ needs. GapVax engineered the trailer jetter as “fit and finish,” as each component is powder coated to ensure durability and longevity.
Features and options
The G7 Jetter is built on a heavy-duty, contractor-grade NATM-certified trailer. GapVax provides several engine choices, including Cummins diesel, and all are certified and sized appropriately for the water pump combinations. GapVax does offer trailer mount or skid mount for this style jetter.
The triplex high-pressure water pump is designed to use water up to 300 microns, and is available at 18 to 40 gpm at 2,000 to 4,000 psi. Stainless steel fluid lines under the trailer allow for durability and longevity.
The jetter hose reel is hydraulically powered with a direct-drive gearbox and features variable speed control; heavy-duty water swivel; 3-foot curbside articulation from center of bearing; and 180-degree rotation mounted on a heavy-duty 10-inch bearing with external grease fittings, footage counter and 800 by ¾-inch capacity hose reel (other options available). The controller displays engine readings and diagnostics to include fuel level, water on/off, and warning alarms/lights among other options.
Ready to work
The G7 is built for routine maintenance and blockage removal, as well as washdown needs from lift stations to heavy equipment cleaning. The G7 Jetter is in it for the long haul, ready to work every day, all day.
GapVax prioritizes the design, ease of use and low maintenance of its units. Coming from a service company background, GapVax incorporated all things learned from that company into the truck’s design. “By the operator, for the operator” is a slogan GapVax continues to stand behind.
“The fit and finish on this unit surpassed anything that I ever saw in all my years of selling similar equipment,” says Paul Folker of Lonestar Municipal Equipment. “The quality of the welds, the routing of your hoses and wiring, and the powder-coat finish were all absolutely superior . . . and this is a unit that your people can be very proud of.”
GapVax’s story began when Gary A. Poborsky created GAP Pollution & Environmental Control Inc. after the Johnstown Flood of 1977 in Pennsylvania. Poborsky set out to help with flood cleanup around the city, which eventually led to more and more work, allowing him to grow his business. From this, Poborsky began trying all of the equipment available on the market. When his company’s suggestions for improvements were ignored by manufacturers, Poborsky ended up manufacturing his own trucks and equipment for his service company. Various customers began wanting to buy Poborsky’s equipment, and essentially, GapVax Inc. was born in 1989. The goal of GapVax Inc. was to provide the best possible equipment inspired by the operator, for the operator, using the best quality components and keeping the design easy to operate and maintain. That still holds true today, over 30 years later.
