The DSM-3020 (3-Wheeler) is a hydraulic grab-bucket desilting machine built on a compact 3-wheel chassis — small enough to work narrow residential lanes and older city cores that a full-size vacuum truck can't easily reach, at a substantially lower cost than one.
A four-bar linkage grab bucket, mounted on a telescopic hydraulic boom, lowers into the manhole or wet well. Moulded seamless steel jaws (minimum 10mm thick) close around the accumulated silt with up to 2.8 tons of grabbing force. A hydraulic winch — reduction gearbox, wire reel, and a 6mm-diameter wire rope rated to 22.5 kN breaking strength — raises the loaded bucket back to the surface, where the boom slews up to 90 degrees to either side and empties into the hydraulically operated hopper at a high dumping angle, straight into a container or compactor.

Yes — its 3-wheel chassis and tighter turning radius are exactly what make it suited to narrow residential lanes and older city cores that a full-size truck can't easily access.
0.3 cubic meters. For higher daily volumes, the 4-wheeler variant carries a larger 0.5 cum hopper.
They share the same grab-bucket mechanism, boom, and working depth. The 3-wheeler trades hopper capacity for a tighter turning radius, making it the better fit for narrow-access routes rather than high-volume ones.
Up to 32 feet, using the telescopic boom and hydraulic winch.
