I have seen over the years some Zerorez trucks for sale. I have have heard all kinds of stories about who made them, etc.... What does any body know about them? There are some used ones for sale that I might look at. Is this a good machine or should I stay away from them? Any thoughts/comments would be great, thanks.

You can do a search here and get some information, but basically the trucks were all a little different and upkeep varies wildly. If you find one you like, post the information and the vortex experts here will give you good advice.

Some ZeroRez trucks were built on the Isuzu chassis and used similar technology to the "V"

Contack Ben Surdi... He bought a Kodiak one.. Looks like a beast.


I'm sure he will tell you it is the best TM ever.


Has to make you wonder though...

Zerorez is moving toward CDS and slide ins and away from the big units, Venturi started making the switch years ago.

So why the move?


It is kinda like a little resturant on a corner back home.
New owners, new menu, but they fail...
So a month or so later , new owners new menu new name and they fail.
Goes on and on.

Perhaps this location was not meant for a small Resturant.
It is now a small church.. LOL.

we were dead as dead could possibly be. then a few weeks ago we had that hurricane blow throu and it was full steam ahead and made up for all the slow time. we still have not stopped. just cancelled a trip to tampa to catch the rays series with the mariners because we are busy and rather just go to vegas with out stress knowing everything is running well and the guys(my techs) are not overwhelmed.

Yes it helped a lot it Was almost too easy to to handle the volume and it felt like everything ran very smooth. I didn't have to go to get any supplies as the trucks were stocked( maybe overstocked) with everything we needed.

I think we are a little better prepared to handle a real big cat 4 storm. Only thing we are missing is some gas trash pumps.

Those sell on ebay rather cheap.
