Vac trucks are highly versatile and useful when it comes to safely and efficiently executing excavation projects. Designed to perform non-destructive digging in a way that is non-evasive, cost-effective, and accurate, hydro-vacuum excavators make use of high-pressure water to break up and cut the soil, gravel, and rock. A high-flow vacuum system removes the debris up and out of the excavation area. If you are considering hiring a vac truck for your next project, there are a few things you should consider when choosing the piece of equipment. Read on for our top tips for choosing a vac truck that will do the job you need it to…
When choosing a vac truck for your project, it is important to think about your particular needs. Mini-excavators are a great option if you need equipment that can be easily loaded and unloaded onto the truck bed via board ramps. These smaller-sized vac trucks are also ideal for those looking for a cost-effective solution for their excavation project.
However, if your project requires something larger, be sure to take this into account when selecting your truck and tank size.
When you choose a vac truck for hire, don’t be afraid to ask if you can have a look at the equipment before you begin your project. With the details and budget of your project in mind, have a thorough look at the vac truck to ensure that it suits your particular purposes. If necessary, you can raise any questions you might have about its features to make sure that it will be able to carry out your project accurately and efficiently. Your service provider should be willing to explain any relevant features and applications if you wish.
Once you have selected the vac truck that is best suited to your needs and checked that you fully understand its features and possible applications, make sure that you understand the terms of the hiring process. You might need to discuss the details of your project with your service provider so that they can help advise you on your timeline when it comes to the period for which you will need the vac truck.
It is also advisable that you chat to your service provider about any details related to possible damages or a warranty agreement — open communication is always best for all parties concerned as this can help prevent stressful situations down the line. Check that any necessary paperwork and permits are in order, and don’t hesitate to ask any questions that you might have regarding these details.
