Excavation doesn’t have to mean piles of displaced soil, costly backfilling, and unnecessary site disruption. Traditional digging methods often create messy, time-consuming clean-ups that slow down projects and increase costs. That’s where vac trailers come in—delivering clean, efficient, and non-destructive excavation that keeps your site in top shape.

Find out how utilising a vac trailer can transform your excavation process with cleaner, safer, and more efficient digging.

What is a vac trailer?

A vac trailer is a portable vacuum excavation system designed to remove soil, debris, and waste using high-pressure water and a powerful vacuum system. Unlike traditional digging methods that use heavy machinery, a vac trailer allows for precision excavation without excessive soil disruption or damage to underground utilities.

These compact, highly manoeuvrable units are ideal for tight spaces, delicate excavation work, and non-destructive digging, making them a preferred choice for contractors, councils, and utility providers.

How our vac trailer works

Rather than using brute force to dig, our vac trailer operates with precision and control. The process begins with high-pressure water breaking up the soil, softening it enough for easy removal. At the same time, a vacuum system extracts the loosened material, collecting it in a debris tank for disposal. This reduces waste on-site and eliminates the need for extensive backfilling.

Because this approach targets only the area that needs excavation, it leaves surrounding infrastructure undisturbed, making it a safer alternative to traditional excavation methods. It’s ideal for exposing underground pipes, cables, and other utilities without the risk of costly damage.
