Roll-Off Vacuum Tank for Rent in Chicago, IL

Rent a roll-off vacuum tank in Chicago, Illinois by telling us what the job needs, and we route your request to rental companies covering the area.

This is equipment rental

You rent the equipment and run the job with your own crew, supplying an operator where the equipment needs one (some rental companies can include one, or handle hauling). Vac4Rent does not arrange crews to perform the work for you.

Renting makes sense in Chicago when municipal sewer & water, utility construction, and commercial construction projects demand the equipment for weeks, not years.

Chicago runs one of the oldest and largest combined sewer systems in the country, and its dense downtown, CTA rail corridors, and constant utility relocation work create steady demand for hydrovac daylighting around congested buried infrastructure. Deep-tunnel (TARP) and water-main replacement programs add ongoing sewer-cleaning and vacuum-excavation needs.

About renting a roll-off vacuum tank

A roll-off vacuum tank, also called a vacuum box or vac box, is a sealed, vacuum-rated steel container that a vacuum or hydrovac truck discharges into on site. When it is full, a roll-off truck hauls the sealed tank away to a treatment or disposal facility, so the vacuum truck stays on the job instead of driving to the dump.

Capacity
20-25 cubic yards, with 30 cubic yard units also offered
Liquid volume
About 5,000 gallons of rated volume at 25 cubic yards; road weight limits, not volume, usually govern how full a liquid load runs
Construction
1/4 inch A36 steel plate, welded and vacuum rated
Inlet and outlet
8 inch flanged ports for vacuum loading and offloading

Common jobs for a roll-off vacuum tank in Chicago

Hydro excavation spoils

Holding the wet slurry a hydrovac truck produces while daylighting and potholing, so the hydrovac keeps digging instead of running its own loads to a disposal site.

Tank and vessel cleaning sludge

Containing heavy sludge, solids, and residual product pulled out of storage tanks, sumps, separators, and process vessels during industrial cleaning.

Refinery and plant turnarounds

Staging several sealed containers during a shutdown so multiple vacuum crews can offload continuously without queuing for a single truck or disposal run.

Drilling mud and cuttings

Collecting mud, cuttings, and wash water on drilling and boring work where the material has to leave the site in a closed, liquid-tight container.
