This 2007 Sterling LT9500 is a used sewer truck — sometimes referred to as a vacuum truck or combination jetter-vac — a specialist municipal and industrial machine used for cleaning, clearing, and evacuating sewer lines, storm drains, catch basins, and other underground infrastructure. Sterling was a commercial truck brand that built heavy-duty vocational and on-highway trucks for construction, utilities, and municipal fleets, and this unit pairs a Sterling conventional cab-over-chassis with a purpose-built combination vacuum and high-pressure water system.
The truck is powered by a Caterpillar C13 turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine rated at 380 horsepower, driving through an Eaton Fuller FRO-15210C ten-speed manual transmission. The drivetrain is configured as a 6×4, and the truck is equipped with air brakes, air conditioning, and cruise control. Fuel capacity is generous, with dual diesel tanks of 60 gallons each, giving a total on-board fuel capacity of 120 gallons. Front tyres are 425/65R22.5 and rear tyres are 11R22.5. Axle weight ratings are 20,000 lb at the front, 23,000 lb at the mid-axle, and 23,000 lb at the rear, with a total loaded unit weight of 66,000 lb. The odometer reads 162,206 miles.
The combination Vactor unit — model VPD4212LHAE — carries a steel debris tank with a capacity of 1,300 gallons or 12 cubic yards. The tank is fitted with a rear hydraulic door with valve for controlled debris dumping. Suction is delivered through a telescopic boom measuring 19 feet 8 inches, and the front-mounted hose reel keeps the pressure line organised and accessible. The vacuum blower is a Hibon model TS-56, manufactured in 2006.
High-pressure water jetting is handled by a Giant model GP7255A water pump capable of 80 gallons per minute at 2,000 PSI. This pump is driven by a dedicated auxiliary Deutz engine — model BF4M2012C — a turbocharged four-cylinder unit rated at 109 horsepower, which has accumulated 17,565 hours of service. Six additional on-board tanks provide supplementary water storage capacity, extending the unit's range between refills. Dual tool boxes are fitted on both the left and right sides of the body.
The unit is located in Texas, USA, and is offered for $65,000.
