  • 124.6 kN of thrust/pullback
  • 5694.4 Nm of rotational torque
  • Carriage speed of 73.1 m/min

Vacuum Excavation trucks — Drilling, excavation and earthworks in Kiama, NSW

Vacuum Excavation Trucks

A vacuum excavation tanker, often referred to as a hydro vac truck, is a self-contained unit capable of blasting water at approximately 4000 psi to break down soil into mud or slurry. The machine then utilises an industrial-strength vacuum to simultaneously excavate and remove the soil completely. Thanks to the flexibility and length of the hose, vacuum excavation trucks can work on tight-access sites and are safe to use around underground powerlines and water mains.

Pipe Trailers

Much of our work at Bedrock Drilling involves excavation and drilling around pipework of all kinds. As such, we own a number of specialty trailers designed specifically for flexible underground pipes. Thanks to rollers on the trailer bed, our operators can quickly feed huge lengths of this material into newly drilled and bored holes.
