Questions before you rent
- What is a vacuum excavator used for?
- Potholing, daylighting and spoil recovery: it digs with pressurized water and vacuums the spoil into a tank, so buried utilities are exposed without a bucket. Some crews call this a hydrovac or hydro excavator.
- Which configurations do you offer?
- Several, sourced for your job. Vermeer's VX75 carries an 800 gal spoil tank; its LP SDT family ranges from 500 to 1,200 gal. We match the unit to your spoil volume and site access, and confirm the model when we quote.
- Are these trailer units?
- Yes — the Vermeer VX75 and LP SDT are trailer-mounted machines.
- Do you keep one on the yard?
- No — we source them for your job. Call or text (916) 907-8192 with your dates and job ZIP and we confirm availability before you commit.
- Can I pick it up, or is it delivered?
- Pickup or delivery is quoted per job. Call or text and tell us the job ZIP.
