Downer AV4000H Hydro Vac

​This month, we’re showcasing the impressive Allvac® AV4000H Hydro Excavator recently delivered to Downer, a leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand. Downer’s commitment to their communities is evident in their focus on employing over 31,000 people across more than 300 sites, all working towards the same goal: enabling communities to thrive.

Downer has been a valued customer for years, consistently choosing Waimea Group for their specialist utility vehicles. This dedication to having the right equipment ensures they can confidently deliver their contracts and safely maintain vital utility services.

With the increasing demand for underground utility work across New Zealand, Downer recognized hydro excavation as the future of safe and efficient digging near underground services. To meet this growing need, they approached Maska Lewis to explore adding their first Allvac® Hydrovac to their fleet.

The AV4000H hydro excavator marks the first Allvac® addition to Downer’s fleet, and we’re proud to have been a part of their journey, from initial consultation and design to the final delivery of this purpose-built specialist vehicle.

This top performer excels in both tight urban and rural environments. Its compact design, thanks to a short wheelbase equipped with top-spec artillery, makes it ideal for various applications – from general suction duties to street sump work and drain cleaning. Additionally, the AV4000H boasts complete water tightness, allowing it to handle all types of mud or liquid without damaging underground services. This translates to a mess-free, safe, and efficient alternative to traditional digging methods.

By choosing the Allvac® AV4000H, Downer demonstrates their commitment to innovation and prioritizing the safety of both their workers and the communities they serve.
