Overview

The Billy Goat QV900HSPEU QuietVac is a petrol-powered, self-propelled vacuum for contractor and municipal clean-up on hard surfaces. Its 84cm (33in) working width, hydrostatic drive and 136-litre collection bag make it suited to clearing leaves, grass and other loose debris across larger managed areas. Powered by a 9HP Honda GX270 engine, the QV900HSPEU combines manoeuvrability with features designed to help manage dust when collecting dry debris. Billy Goat describes its QV Series as the world's quietest petrol-powered vacuum; QuietVac noise figures are listed as low as 77 dBa at full rpm under the stated conditions.

Collection and dust management

The QV900HSPEU is designed to collect leaves, grass and other loose debris from hard surfaces. Its 136-litre bag provides capacity for collection, while four hooks assist with bag loading and unloading.

For dry and dusty conditions, the machine combines cyclonic filtration and an electrostatic Dust Sock™ secondary filter with a dust skirt fitted to the debris bag. Billy Goat states that the system dramatically reduces dust in dry conditions.

Self-propelled operation and manoeuvrability

Hydrostatic drive provides infinitely variable forward and reverse speeds from 0 to 4.8km/h, allowing the operator to adjust travel speed to suit the working area. Handlebar clutches assist manoeuvring in restricted spaces, while front casters are designed to roll through turns and over uneven surfaces.

Performance and noise

The six-blade serrated impeller is designed to provide suction and reduce debris volume. Billy Goat states a 12:1 debris reduction for composting in dry conditions.

QuietVac noise figures are listed as low as 97 LWa / 77 dBa at full rpm and 96 LWa / 76 dBa at 2,800rpm. These are manufacturer-stated figures; actual noise will depend on operating conditions.
