Questions
Hydrovac Trailer in South Lyon FAQ
When should I use a hydrovac trailer instead of a truck?
Use a trailer when access is the constraint: tight lots, back yards, remote sites, or jobs too small to justify a full hydrovac truck. It performs the same non-destructive digging in a footprint a pickup can tow into place.
Can a hydrovac trailer do the same work as a hydrovac truck?
For most potholing and daylighting it does the same job using the same water-and-vacuum method. The difference is capacity: smaller water and debris tanks mean more offloads on high-volume excavation, where a truck is more efficient.
