Trailer-Mounted Vacuum Machine Requested Salient Characteristics Brand Name or Equal To Vermeer Vactron CV573SGT Vac Trailer Characteristics: Trailer-mounted vacuum machines are used for removing oil, liquids, and solids from jobsites, daylighting and locating underground utilities, and safely excavating around underground utilities without causing damage. Creating a safe jobsite for workers and by-standers is critical and a focus for many municipalities and contractors. The biggest risk for operators in this industry is active underground utilities such as gas and electric lines. When traditional yellow iron equipment is used to excavate in locations with underground utilities, the risk of hitting a line, causing damage, and potentially injuring the operator or others is increased. However, trailer-mounted hydrovacs are ideal for these environments, which are often found in compact, urban areas where truck-mounted units may not be able to comply. The high-pressure water and powerful vacuum functions are able to disrupt and remove soil around these lines without causing damage. Water tank capacity of 200 gallons Need high pressure pump running 4 gpm at 3000 psi Spoil tank 500 gallon Must have rear hydraulic claw door for safety reasons .5 Micron filtration Equivalent options Ditch Witch HX30 VACUUM EXCAVATOR PKG #4 available on GSA Advantage DISCLAIMER This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation.
