About renting a hydrovac trailer

A hydrovac trailer is a trailer-mounted hydro-excavation unit that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a vacuum to remove the slurry, towed behind a pickup or work truck. It offers a lower-cost, more portable entry into hydrovac work and reaches tight, confined, or off-road jobsites where a full hydrovac truck cannot maneuver.
