About Bertsch Fahrzeugbau
Bertsch Fahrzeugbau is a manufacturer specialising in vehicle bodies, based in Frastanz in Vorarlberg. The company manufactures vacuum-excavation and jetting vehicles and special bodies for flushing, suction and the transport of solids, liquid media and hazardous substances. The bodies are mounted on carrier vehicles from 2-axle to 5-axle and consist of round tanks made of stainless steel or carbon steel with 6,000 to 25,000 litres volume, combined with high-pressure systems (up to 250 bar, 50–500 L/min), vacuum systems (2,000–4,000 m³/h) and optional water recycling with up to 800 L/min throughput. In addition to manufacturing new bodies, the company offers body refurbishment, chassis replacement onto new carrier vehicles, sandblasting and painting, as well as service and maintenance with on-site service in Austria. On request, vehicles receive ADR approval for the transport of dangerous goods. Customers come from municipal technology, sewer cleaning, industrial cleaning and hazardous goods transport.
