HXX Series

Vacuum Excavation occurs when high-pressure water or pressurized air breaks up and cuts the soil, while a high-flow vacuum system lifts the soil up and out of the excavation area.

Buried natural gas, petroleum pipelines, and water mains can be quickly and efficiently uncovered with greatly reduced risk of strike. Fiber optic lines, cables, and other utilities can be efficiently located without the damage that can happen with traditional mechanical digging.

Vactor HXX

Operators can dig with precision, establishing a less invasive method for slot trenching, potholing, and pipe location.

This manner of excavation causes less surface damage, reduces disruption of traffic and other surface activities and can be easier and less expensive to repair.

For bigger jobs consider the Vactor HXX HydroExcavator (Fan or PD): Larger pipeline installations, big-volume excavations, and 12-yard debris body.

HXX ProdigyFor power in a compact package look to the Vactor HXX Prodigy: Potholing - Slot trenching - Precise work - Water or optional air - 6- or 9-yard debris body.

Vactor Ramjet Jetter

The Vactor Ramjet jetter scours sewer lines clean. Instituting a regular line maintenance program is easy with the truck-mounted Vactor Ramjet. Equipped with a Vactor Jet Rodder® water pump or triplex water pump, the Ramjet effectively breaks up blockages in sanitary lines and flushes out debris.

A single operator can quickly drive to each job site to solve line problems and tackle regular line maintenance. The Ramjet's unique Auto Wind Hose Guide allows hands-free operation from the control panel, for a clean, tight wrap.

Armed with up to 2,000 gallons of water in a stainless steel tank, the Ramjet delivers a range of flows: 60 gpm, 65 gpm, or 80 gpm at 2000 psi (80 gpm at 2500 psi with the Vactor Jet Rodder pump.)

 

The Jet Rodder water pump is an exclusive single-piston, hydraulically driven, dual acting pump that delivers a jack hammer action water flow, breaking through line blockages and scouring even the toughest caked-on debris from pipe walls.

Built with Vactor quality, the Ramjet jetter provides the same quality and integrity set by Vactor's flagship line, the 2100 Series.
