Peterson BT40C Blower Truck

Overview

With a Peterson BT40C Blower Truck, you can tackle a wider range of assignments.

Our high capacity delivery system handles larger erosion control and commercial landscape projects. Reduced set-up and clean-up time produces a faster turn around, resulting in more deliveries and more cubic yards each day. Extra daily loads make a significant difference to your bottom line.

The large footprint feeder, combined with the high-capacity tri-lobe blower, provides increased airflow for farther and faster delivery. Larger diameter hoses provide added protection against clogging. These features enable you to be more productive and deliver a wider range of materials each day.
