Ridgid 62723 Model RT1600 16-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum – 6.5 Peak HP

The Ultimate Industrial Clean-Up System. Maximum Airflow. Best-in-Class Power.

The Ridgid 62723 (RT1600) is the highest-performing vacuum in the Ridgid fleet. Engineered for the most demanding commercial environments, this industrial-grade machine features a massive 6.5 Peak HP motor, delivering the aggressive suction and airflow required for high-volume water recovery, heavy construction debris, and deep-shop cleaning.

When a standard vacuum won't cut it, the 16-gallon drum provides the capacity needed for major site floods or large-scale warehouse maintenance. For the professional at The Fastener Group, the RT1600 represents the pinnacle of reliability—combining an impact-resistant design with a motor built to run longer and pull harder than anything else on the market.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• Best-in-Class 6.5 Peak HP Motor: The most powerful motor available from Ridgid, providing industry-leading suction for rapid liquid extraction and heavy-duty debris pickup.
• Massive 16-Gallon Industrial Drum: Designed for large-scale cleanup, minimizing downtime by reducing the number of trips to the drain or dumpster.
• Professional Locking Hose: The 1-7/8" pro-grade hose is designed with a locking connection that prevents it from pulling loose while you work, even when the unit is at full weight.
• Large Drain Port: Positioned at the absolute lowest point of the drum for fast, gravity-fed emptying of liquids, eliminating the need to tip or lift a heavy 16-gallon load.
• Quick-Release Accessory Caddy: Keeps your professional wands and nozzles organized and secure on the vacuum base, ensuring they are always within reach when you need them.
• Rugged 360° Mobility: Features heavy-duty casters that allow for smooth movement across uneven jobsite floors, maintaining stability even when the drum is at maximum capacity.
• Integrated Blower Port: Transform your vacuum into a high-velocity blower by moving the hose to the exhaust port—ideal for clearing dust from workbenches or debris from walkways.
