Fleet

  • Oil Recovery Pump Trucks

    These specialized pump trucks are the backbone of our used oil recycling business. With separate compartments for used oil, waste water and antifreeze, these trucks support the fluid recycling needs for our automotive, construction and industrial customers.

  • Vacuum Trucks

    The most advanced and flexible vehicles in the fleet, the Vacuum Trucks are capable of removing liquids, sludge, and solids such as sand, dirt and p-rock. These power vehicles are used to clean car wash pits, oil/water separators, petroleum tanks and fuel lines, and are a critical part of our emergency spill response fleet.

  • Box Trucks

    Our box trucks are the utility truck of the fleet, picking up and delivering drums to our used oil customers. They are also an important part of our emergency spill response fleet.

  • Roll-Off Trucks

    For jobs requiring soil and/or debris removal, the roll-off is the perfect tool. It allows us to leave “boxes” on site to be filled at the customer’s discretion. The roll-off is also the ideal vehicle to respond to hurricane and disaster clean-ups where flexibility is the key.

  • Semi-Tanker

    These 6,000 gallon tankers are used to transport large volumes of waste water, oil, antifreeze and fuels.

  • Dump Trailers

    Excellent tools for hurricane clean-ups, the dump trailers are used for transportation and removal of soils and debris.

  • Stake Bed Trucks

    The stake-bed utility truck is used for equipment and drum transportation.

  • Emergency Spill Response Trailers

    From roadside clean-ups to large industrial spills, our emergency response trailers are fully equipped to handle any spill.

  • Jet Rodders

    These trailer-mounted high pressure jet rodders clean drainage pipes quickly and efficiently.

  • Pick-up Trucks

    All Petrotech sales professionals have company pick-up trucks to help assist in emergency spill responses and to ensure the highest level of customer support is provided on a daily basis.

PSI Astatula Aerial
As the company grew, so did its need for a larger facility. In 2010, the company moved from its 2-acre facility in Ocoee to an 8-acre facility with an 18,000 square foot warehouse in Astatula, FL. A new tank farm with over 350,000-gallons of storage and expanded processing capacity was built from the ground up. In addition to the enhanced used oil, antifreeze, and oily water processing capabilities, the new facility allowed Petrotech to perform in-house solid waste processing of drummed waste such as absorbents and paper filters, but also perform sludge solidification of non-hazardous oily waste.
