A hydrovac truck, also known as a hydro excavation truck or vacuum excavator, is a specialized vehicle used for non-destructive excavation and material removal. It combines high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system to excavate and remove soil, debris, or other materials.
As the name suggests, hydrovac trucks are used to excavate using a vacuum (“vac”) and pressurized hot water (“hydro”). Hydrovacs carefully remove earth, clay, soil, ice, gravel, or dirt from an area using a non-destructive process, meaning that all underground fixtures and infrastructure are left undamaged. Additionally, hydrovac trucks are safer and more efficient, environmentally friendly, and precise than traditional digging methods such as a backhoe or large equipment.
Hydrovac trucks are commonly used in various industries and applications, including construction, utility work, trenching, and environmental cleanup, among others.
When selecting a hydrovac truck, consider the tank capacity, vacuum power, water pressure, boom reach, hose length, heating capabilities, available accessories, and the reputation of the manufacturer or dealer and post-sale service.
