Vacuum / Industrial Tank Trucks For Sale

Many vacuum trucks can gently excavate soil around underground utilities by sucking up the mud or dust from water (hydro excavation) or compressed air (soft digging) jetted into the ground. This combination of jetting and suction can also be used to clear blockages out of drains and storm sewer systems.
