Equipment Purchase
When municipalities and fleet managers look for reliable and efficient solutions for varied operational needs, they consider one paramount factor: versatility. This is precisely what makes the Multihog multi-purpose vehicle a standout choice in the realm of compact utility vehicles. Integrating advanced equipment design with practical functionality, the Multihog promises to revolutionize the way municipalities manage their tasks year-round.

Unmatched versatility
One of the defining attributes of the Multihog is its unparalleled versatility. Unlike traditional vehicles that serve a single function, the Multihog is a transformative multi-purpose vehicle that can adapt to a wide range of tasks. These utility vehicles can be outfitted with various attachments – snow plows, sweepers, mowers, and even de-icing machines – allowing them to be a one-stop solution for multiple municipal needs.
Whether it’s snow clearing during harsh winter months or landscape maintenance in vibrant summer, the Multihog is designed to seamlessly switch roles. This ability not only reduces the time and expense of maintaining separate equipment for each task but also enhances operational efficiency.

Advanced Equipment Design
Multihogs are engineered with a focus on durability and ease of use. Their ergonomically designed cabins provide optimal visibility and comfort, crucial for operators spending long hours on the job. With the comfort of operators in mind, the cabins are equipped with climate control features, ensuring a pleasant working environment regardless of external weather conditions. See below for some key features of the CV350:
– “Compact, multi-purpose sweeper available in 3500kg”
– “Dedicated all-terrain vehicle with the option to change front brushes to other attachments”
– “Incredibly simple operation – switch from drive mode to sweep mode and back again using one button.”
– “Low emission Tier 4 Final/Stage V engine makes a CV a more sustainainable choice.”
– “All sweeper functions from a fully adjustable, floating ergonomic armrest”
– “Hopper capacity is 1.5m cubed (2 cubic yards) and boasts suction powe of 8000 m3.”

Compact Design and so much more than a sweeper
Despite their multifunctionality, Multihogs maintain a compact size, allowing them to navigate narrow streets and tight spaces with ease. This compact design does not sacrifice power or efficiency, offering a perfect balance between form and function. It is also very easy to access the major componenets of the machine, as they are in the rear engine bay. It it also important to note that the CV is “manufactured from a special grade of aluminum alloy, which is anti-corrosive and perfect for harsh weather conditions.”
The Multihog is a Multi-Purpose machine. Other ways to get the most out of your CV:
- The rear rails can be used for a drop spreader
- Optional pressure washer can be built in to the back of the hopper for cleaning park benches, trash cans, etc. Can also be useful for cleaning out the hopper itself using water from from the fresh water tank.
- With the water nozzle connections at the front, the sweeper is already set up to supply water at the front to other attachments,
- Towing Capacity of 3.5 tonne (braked trailer) allows you to transport extra equipment to job sites eg. Water tanks.

Final Thoughts

Things to Consider When Purchasing Equipment
Equipment Purchase Guide
Purchasing equipment is no small investment, and here at Rollins, we make it our mission to get you in the equipment, that suits your needs and budget best. We have been an equipment supplier in BC since 1946. First, it’s important to consider the application the equipment needs to operate in. Looking for fleet management solutions? This overview looks at the different applications of the various equipment that we have.
First of all, The Multihog is an articulating tractor used for multi – purpose tasks, such as “pothole repair (asphalt planning), verge and border mowing, winter maintenance, and weed removal”(Multihog). The core benefit of the Multihog, is that it’s multi-purpose, and mitigates the need of having to have several machines.
The Multihog is known for Airport Operations, Municipal Services, Road Maintenance and Facilities Management. Some of the more popular attachments include the following:
- Street Sweeping
- Snow Blowing
- Snow Ploughing (Multihog)
Bomford is another brand we represent. We currently have a Flailbot in stock with a Forestry Head. The Flailbot also has a multitude of applications. There are several other attachments available, making it a great multi-purpose option for roadside maintenance. Some of the attachments include:
- Atomiser/Sprayer (Designed for spraying Vineyards and Orchards)
- Collection Basket for Sweeper (A useful addition to the sweeper attachment, for collecting debris as it is swept)
- Front End Loader (With parallel lift function)
- Snow Blower
Another popular Bomford piece of equipment is the Hawk Evo. This mower is “perfect for farmers, contractors, and municipal environments.” This machine is “fitted with a powerful 104 litre drive system, and options to upgrade to 125 litre , the Hawk Evo offers a machine for every application”(Bomford). We have sold many of these to municipalities around British Columbia (BC), attached to a T6 New Holland tractor.
News Alert! ~ We are now a dealer for Mantis. It serves as an amazing machine, if you are “in the market of professional mowing, cutting, and clearing equipment”(Mantis). This prime mover also has 3 steering modes, and 180 degree view. We also currently have one in stock. The Mantis is shown on the main picture of the blog post above.
requirements/ease of use and safety For an equipment purchase
It’s important when selecting a piece of equipment for your fleet, that it’s not overcomplicated for yourself and your staff. A good example of a brand that prides itself on being “simple” is Sewer Equipment (SECA). The SECA 900 ECO has “no engagement process in the cab and only four primary switches at the operator’s station. Operators can use the work, blower, water, and throttle switches to get the job done.”(Sewer Equipment).
Safety is also extremely important factor when choosing your equipment. “The patented “Hydro Drive” powertrain system allows the truck to operate in neutral when in work mode”(Sewer Equipment) There are also minimal digital screens in the cab to prevent distraction. One of the main benefits of the Flailbot in terms of safety is that it can work on slopes up to 55 degrees (Bomford) and is completely operated from a remote control. This is much safer than operating a ride-on mower on the side of a steep hill, with the risk of it flipping.
There are also many safety features on the Mantis. First of all, the cab has plenty of visibility, with 72 sq ft of glass ensuring optimal visibility. The Mantis follows strict safety protocols, with roll over protection and operator space requirement designs in place.

Reliability & cost savings for an equipment purchase
The Mantis is equipped with a Deutz Turbocharged Diesel Engine, with the options of being 155 horsepower or 201 horsepower. It is built to handle rough terrain, and go through tough terrain. One of the key benefits of the Multihog is the Capital Expenditure Savings. The Multihog “eliminates the need for multiple machines, reducing fleet size and associated costs(Multihog). Training costs are also reduced, with having just one machine to train the operators on, compared to multiple.

Parts & Service Support from Rollins
Along with all the great features of an equipment purchase, the service and support received on that equipment is critical to keep you and your business up and running. We have 6 fully equipped mobile service vehicles, and 4 locations across BC with Parts and Service centres to fully support you before and after the sale.

Why Choose hydro excavation
But first, let’s touch on why hydro excavation is becoming the go-to method for contractors and municipalities, especially here in BC. Hydro excavation is a method of removing earth through high-pressure water. It’s a non-destructive and more precise way to dig, reducing the risk of damaging existing underground infrastructures like utilities, pipelines, and cables. It’s efficient, and cuts down on both man-hours and overall project costs.
