Waterblasting Technologies (Stuart)

Waterblasting Technologies has become the market leaders worldwide with more water blasting units working around the globe than their 5 closest competitors combined. Waterblasting Technologies manufactures a variety of vehicles such as the Stripe Hog, Thermo Hog, Paint Hog, Rumble Hog, Grinder Hog, Surface Hog, and Concrete Hog. The award-winning Stripe Hog Waterblasting System quickly and completely removes all types of durable pavement markings from asphalt and concrete surfaces with the least amount of negative impact to the surface. The Stripe Hog® does its work using needle-sharp 40,000 psi water jets and a powerful vacuum recovery system that leaves the road or runway clean and virtually dry. The resulting debris is quickly de-watered using a patented process so that the debris can then be dumped easily from the tank.
