BTV6-2 Allvac® AV850 Full Door Hydro Excavator on Tandem Trailer

Hydro excavation technology is the new choice for easy digging near underground services. Hydro excavation - also known as hydro digging, vacuum trenching or vacuum excavation - allows for safe digging around sensitive services such as piping, cabling and foundations.

This unit uses a combination of high pressure water and an industrial vacuum unit to loosen and remove soil and debris, to to safely dig without cutting or impacting services hidden in the ground.

Non-destructive hydro excavation is extremely safe and productive for many uses including:

• Underground utility services
• Live gas pipe and power cable
• Water and sewer pipe
• Fibre optic cables
• Pot-holing
• Slot trenching
• Street sign pole holes
• ... and much more

No damage to underground services. No mess. Safe and efficient.

Pot-holing and locating buried underground services has never been easier. Tow the Allvac® AV850 to site in the comfort of a 3.5-tonne ute on a heavy duty, low COG 3.5-tonne skeleton trailer and get into action, fast!

The Allvac® AV850 offers operators a very cost-effective hydro excavation option to locate and expose underground utilities with non-destructive digging. This unit comes mounted on one of our purpose built 3,500kg trailers which allows it to be towed with a ute that has 3,500kg towing capabilities.

Also available as a skid mount, it can be lifted on and off a truck with its forklift slots. With the spoil tank mounted horizontally and tipping hydraulically, it gives the unit a very low centre of gravity when travelling loaded. This negates the significant hazard of loaded trailers tipping if they are designed with permanently tilting tanks.

Health and safety has been considered regarding opening the rear door whilst the tank is horizontal, by then moving away from the tipping area and activating the tank hoist with a corded controller.
