Disclaimer: The features below might not reflect what exactly will be on the vehicle.
  • Increased debris and water storage

    Featuring a 13-cubic-yard debris body, providing ample space for material collection, and a 2,000-gallon epoxy-coated water tank, the Foremost 2000 makes material discharge, collection, and maintenance easy.
  • High-powered vacuum system

    Choose between the standard RB-DV125 blower or the optional RB-DV145, which delivers an impressive 6,400 CFM and full vacuum capabilities. The RBDV125 suffices for most applications and provides plenty of power for most projects at a lower weight and cost.

    Comprised of a Pratisolli KTX28 wash pump and a 690,000 BTU boiler, the Foremost 2000 provides a consistent supply of hot water to loosen soil during excavation. Full winterization is standard on this model, so the system functions optimally even in harsh climates.

    The Foremost 2000 was built to withstand harsh climates and environmental conditions. With its sloped debris tank and full winterization capabilities, this hydrovac performs reliably and safely across most working conditions.
  • Enviable ease of use

    Thanks to a 26-foot, rear-mounted, extendable boom with 340-degree rotation, the Foremost 2000 offers exceptional reach and maneuverability. Its wireless Omnex controller allows operators to manage off-loading, vacuum, wash, and vehicle RPM functions remotely.
  • Operator-centric van body

    The Foremost 2000's van body is heated, insulated, and well-lit. Its durable design provides loads of storage space and includes a shelving unit - and even a microwave! - on the driver's side.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a hydrovac truck, and how does it work?

    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.

    What is a hydrovac used for?

    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.

    What industries commonly use hydrovac trucks?

    Hydrovac trucks are commonly used in various industries and applications, including construction, utility work, trenching, and environmental cleanup, among others. 

    What features should I consider when considering a hydrovac truck?

    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.
