Different Types of Hydrovacs

Truck-Mounted Hydrovacs 

Truck-mounted hydrovacs are the most commonly used units in hydro vacuum excavation. These powerful machines are mounted on large trucks and are ideal for substantial excavation tasks.

Benefits 

• High Capacity: Truck-mounted hydrovacs can handle large volumes of debris, making them perfect for extensive projects. Their massive holding tanks and powerful suction capabilities mean fewer trips to dispose of excavated material, increasing efficiency. 
• Versatility: Equipped with advanced features like onboard water heaters and multiple hose attachments, these units can operate in various conditions, including frozen ground. This versatility ensures that work can continue year-round, regardless of the weather. Truck-mounted hydrovacs are often the go-to choice for projects requiring significant depth and volume of excavation.
  

Trailer-Mounted Hydrovacs 

Trailer-mounted hydrovacs offer a more compact and flexible solution for smaller or more challenging sites where manoeuvrability is crucial. These units can be easily towed by standard vehicles, making them ideal for sites with limited access or where larger trucks cannot operate. Their smaller footprint allows them to navigate tight spaces and urban environments more effectively. 

Due to their size and towing capabilities, trailer-mounted hydrovacs are often more cost-effective to operate and maintain. They provide a practical solution for smaller jobs without compromising on the power and efficiency needed for effective excavation. These hydrovacs are perfect for residential projects, minor utility repairs and locations with restricted access. They combine the essential features of larger units with the flexibility and convenience needed for diverse job sites.

Mini Hydrovacs 

For tasks that require even more precision and access to extremely confined spaces, mini hydrovacs are the ideal choice. These compact units are designed for projects where traditional excavation methods might be too invasive or impractical. They offer unparalleled precision, making them suitable for delicate excavations around utilities or in areas where minimal disruption is necessary. Their small size allows for meticulous control and accuracy during excavation. 

These units can access areas that larger hydrovacs cannot, such as inside buildings or landscaped gardens. Their ability to operate in confined spaces makes them invaluable for indoor projects and urban environments. Mini hydrovacs are particularly useful for tasks like locating underground utilities and working in environments where preserving the surrounding area is crucial.

Combination Units

Combination units bring together the capabilities of hydro excavation and other essential functions, such as jetting or vacuuming, in a single versatile machine. 

Dual Functionality 

• Efficiency: By combining multiple functions into one unit, combination hydrovacs streamline operations and reduce the need for multiple machines on-site. This integration improves efficiency and simplifies logistics, making these hydrovacs highly desirable for complex projects. 
• Flexibility: These units can switch between functions seamlessly, allowing for continuous work without the downtime associated with changing equipment. Whether you need to jet clean a sewer line or excavate around utilities, combination units provide the flexibility to tackle diverse tasks. 

Their multifunctionality reduces the equipment footprint and enhances overall productivity on the job site. 

Industrial Hydrovacs 

Industrial hydrovacs are designed to handle the most demanding tasks in challenging environments. These units are built to endure the rigours of industrial use, with powerful suction and high-capacity tanks that can manage large volumes of heavy debris. They are engineered to maintain peak performance even under the most strenuous conditions. 

Industrial hydrovacs often come equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as advanced filtration systems and enhanced safety features. These advancements ensure that even the most complex and hazardous excavations can be conducted safely and efficiently. Industrial hydrovacs are perfect for large-scale industrial projects, including mining and major construction undertakings.
