Hydro Excavation Trailers — Mudslinger™ Hydro Excavators

Hydro excavators offer a safer, more efficient alternative for removing soil compared to hand digging and other mechanical digging and excavating tools. These machines utilizes a blast of pressurized water to quickly create a dirt slurry that is then vacuumed into a storage tank, uncovering utility lines and pipe systems without damaging them. Hydro excavation is a year-round solution to complex trenching and digging requirements at both urban and rural construction sites.

 

Mudslinger™ Hydro Excavation Trailers

Vector, in cooperation with Vac•Con®, offers this simple hydro-excavator to appeal to operators in both private and municipal operations who need a small, versatile but powerful machine to handle small excavation, potholing, and daylighting jobs. These machines combine a high-pressure/low flow water jet system with a high performance industrial vacuum to safely excavate underground utilities for repairs or adjustments, for catch basin cleaning applications, and more. Offering multiple vacuum and water system options that can be configured for your needs, the Mudslinger™ & Mudslinger HD™ will not only fit into your garage, but it will most likely fit into your budget.

Hydro Excavation 101

Hydro excavation is the safe, accurate, and fast alternative to traditional digging processes. Instead of mechanical digging tools, hydro excavators use a hose to expel high-pressure water to turn the dirt and soil into a muddy, malleable slurry. The equipment can then vacuum the slurry into a holding tank, giving inspectors and engineers complete access to the uncovered location. This process drastically reduces the risk of damage to existing utility lines and can even be used during wintry conditions when the ground has frozen.

 

Hydro Excavator Applications

Common hydro excavation applications include but are not limited to:

  • Debris removal
  • Daylighting
  • Line, pole, and sign installation
  • Potholing
  • Sewer inspections, repairs, and rehabilitation
  • Trenching and slot trenching
  • Drywell and culvert cleaning
  • Trough cleanout
  • Flood cleanup
