FAQs ON HYDRO EXCAVATION TRUCKS

A hydro excavation truck primarily employs two key elements: high-pressure water and a potent quality vacuum system. The water jet loosens the soil, and the vacuum system promptly removes it, leaving a clean, well-defined excavation area. This meticulous process ensures that underground assets like conduits, pipes and cables remain unharmed.

Main Components:

• High-Pressure Water Jet: Used to break up the soil.
• Vacuum System: Sucks up the loose soil and stores it in a debris tank.
• Debris Tank: Where the vacuumed soil is stored for later disposal or reuse.
• Control System: Allows the operator to manage the pressure and flow of water and vacuum.

The benefits of hydro excavation are numerous and primarily revolve around precision, efficiency, and safety.

• Non-Destructive Method: Traditional excavation methods can be quite invasive, posing a risk to underground utilities and the workforce. Hydro excavation is gentle yet effective whilst exposing the underground assets 
• One Truck, Multiple Solutions: Say goodbye to the need for separate excavators and dump trucks. A single hydro excavation truck does it all, saving space and reducing equipment costs.
• Clean Operation: With hydro excavation, the mess is minimal. The vacuumed soil goes straight into the debris tank, eliminating the need for extra cleanup.

Owning a hydro excavation truck can be a wise financial move for several reasons:

• Single Equipment Cost: Hydro Excavation trucks are a single piece of equipment compared to a package of truck and excavator and trailer the total cost of ownership can favour Hydro excavation as only a single piece of equipment needs to be registered, maintained and financed.
• Higher Operational Revenue: Operational revenue for a Hydro excavation truck can also surpass a traditional excavator as it is a safer method and often more productive, so a total return on invested capital is often higher with a Hydro Excavation Truck.

A well-maintained hydro excavation truck is a long-lasting one. Regular servicing is crucial, including daily, weekly, and monthly checks and servicing: (depending on hours of work)

• 3-Month Body Interval: To maintain the body in optimal condition.
• 6-Month Chassis Interval: For oil drainage and overall chassis health.
