ABSTRACT:
A mobile vacuum cleaner for removing particulate materials from a chamber of a railcar or container is mounted on a motor truck operable to locate the vacuum cleaner adjacent a railcar. The cleaner has a material pick-up hose connected to a box and a motor driven fan for drawing air through the hose and box to pick up particulate materials from the chamber of the railcar and transport the particulate materials to the box. A lift device mounted on the truck has articulated booms and a work person carrier that can be located in the chamber of the railcar allowing the work person to move the hose adjacent the particulate material in the chamber and visually observe the cleaning operation.
