Vacuum trailers are an essential piece of equipment for industrial applications. They pneumatically convey liquids, slurries and solids and can be towed behind a truck or maneuvered manually.

They’re great for sweeping and vacuuming large grass areas. This helps the lawn absorb water, oxygen and fertilizer better, improving its quality.

Power

The Power-Vac Combination Trailer is designed to handle industrial waste and automatically or manually discharge it into a container, dumpster or dump truck. It includes a powerful hydraulically driven vacuum unit, Brute Jetter and state-of-the-art Valve Exerciser in one towable package. It is ideal for hydro-excavation, line jetting and valve maintenance.

This versatile trailer is designed to be a workhorse in rough and rugged locations where larger vac trucks aren’t cost-effective or safe. This mobile system is easy to maneuver and features a large debris tank. It is also available in various dumping, non-dumping and code operating models. These trailers are ideal for sewer line cleaning, hydro-excavation and hazardous materials cleanup. It also has a wide range of optional accessories. This powerful machine delivers high speed and exceptional performance for emptying septic tanks, hydro-excavation and more.

Performance

Industrial vacuum trailers offer a unique advantage for underground gas and electrical infrastructure companies. Traditional metal tools can damage these lines, but vacuum systems prevent this by safely excavating dirt and debris without causing harm.

These trailer-mounted machines also help companies avoid costly utility line repairs when performing non-destructive digging or drain cleaning for commercial, residential, and municipal projects. For example, a commercial or municipal landscaper can use the equipment to locate gas, water and electric lines before drilling or installing posts, signs, fences and sidewalks.

These trailer-mounted hydro vacs and combination machines are smaller than truck units but still deliver the power necessary to perform demanding tasks. This versatility fosters a range of perks, including compatibility with tight job sites and easiness of transporting and maneuvering the unit between sites.

Flexibility

The patented design of our large vac trailer makes them extremely maneuverable, even with a full load. They also have a large-volume bin, so you can stay on the job site longer and avoid unnecessary trips back and forth.

This allows you to discharge material directly into a dump truck, dumpster, container or bag up to 11 feet high. Its versatility bridges the gap between truck and trailer-mounted industrial vacuums and offers cost savings unique to the unit.

Another advantage of trailer-mounted units is their compatibility with tight job sites like those in populated urban areas. They can be towed by any tractor, reducing equipment ownership costs. Additionally, you can easily upgrade to a larger hydro-vac or combination vac later.

Safety

Trailer-mounted machines are a great solution for many users. They are a fraction of the size of truck-mounted units, so they are compatible for use on small, tight job sites usually seen in populated urban areas. They also provide several other perks, such as the ability to discharge directly into a trash truck or dumpster and ease of transport and relocation.

Like other tank trailers, a vacuum tank trailer uses a secure, enclosed tank to haul liquids. Often chain-ganged to other vac units or hydrovac trucks on large jobs, these units can efficiently transfer high volumes of material. They are available in dumping and non-dumping models and code and non-code operating systems. They are a popular choice for municipal and industrial job sites.

Maintenance

Like any equipment, a trailer-mounted vacuum excavation unit requires regular maintenance. First, operators should check the machine before each day’s work to ensure its road ready. For example, he suggests checking the tires to ensure they are properly inflated, and all lights are working. Then, he recommends lubricating any grease points on the vacuum system as needed.

He also stresses the importance of washing out the air filter at the end of each day to prevent caked-on material from reducing suction power. Other important maintenance tasks include regularly removing the hose from the tank and hosing it down to avoid the caking of materials. Lastly, he says it is critical to follow manufacturer-recommended maintenance service intervals.
