Flowplant has introduced an optional closed door operating facility on its one man operation (OMO) van pack drain jetters to stop members of the public gaining access while the operator is working away from the vehicle.

Flowplant's closed door system allows the drain jetter to be fully operated with maximum efficiency and security while all the vehicle doors are shut and locked.

This is of particular benefit where jetter operation is carried out in high density public environments such as housing estates and commercial or shopping centres.

'More than 75% of the drain jetters Flowplant sell are fitted with one man operation systems and radio control is also increasingly popular,' said Sales Director Alistair Hiscock.

'These systems can easily work 100m away from the jetter and it is very possible that the operator will not be able to hear, let alone see, his machine when he is working.

'Our closed door system ensures the jetter is isolated and no passer-by can enter the van where they could get hurt, tamper with the controls or steal valuable items. This gives our clients the peace of mind that the jetting unit and all the tools stored in the vehicle will be kept safe and secure during the jetting operation.'
