The MVC-80 Series is fitted with a long-lasting and easy to clean 17 x 22-inch steel base plate.Other standard features include a 13.7-quart plastic water tank that is easy to remove and requires no plumbing or installation and a lifting bale for pick-up eliminating the need to use a lifting strap or hook-up. In addition, large handles allow two people to quickly lift the unit into a truck and an enclosed, sturdy steel belt cover provides added durability while preventing material from becoming trapped inside the guard.
