Vector Trailer-Mounted Units

Portable yet Powerful: The Benefits of a Trailer-Mounted Machine

When people think of Vac•Con® they usually envision one of our large, truck-mounted machines that are the easiest to spot in the field. Though truck-mounted machines are where we got our start, we are now a game-changer in the realm of trailer-mounted units.

In 2012, Vac•Con acquired Vector Technologies, Ltd., a well-known and celebrated manufacturer of trailer-mounted equipment with over 40 years of experience. This acquisition expanded our product portfolio and customer base.

Trailer-mounted machines are a great option for a range of users and projects. Don’t think that just because you will need a vacuum or hydro-excavation machine that you will have to look into a truck-mounted option. Trailer-mounted is becoming the way to go for many users.

Below are several benefits of trailer-mounted units, and roles that they can play in the field.

Ideal Projects

• Urban Areas

  • The size of trailer-mounted units is ideal for use on jobsites located in small, confined areas usually seen in populated, urban areas. Operators are able to function at full-capacity without causing additional disruption in the area.

• Waste Water

  • Trough clean out
  • Filter-bed cleaning, sand, or carbon
  • Treatment plant housekeeping

• Water Departments

  • Manhole cleaning
  • Valve box cleaning and straightening
  • Utility locating
  • Meter box cleaning and relocation
  • Valve box and catch basin cleaning
  • Carbon filtration change-outs, filter-bed cleaning

• Storm Water Departments

  • Culvert cleaning
  • Drywell cleaning

• Electrical Departments

  • Drilling mud recovery
  • Potholing and short horizontal boring
  • Transformer vault cleaning
  • Underground switch vault cleaning
  • Underground utilities locating

• Emergency Response

  • Spill response
  • Floor cleanup
  • Waste recovery

• Grounds, maintenance, traffic, and sign

  • Digging and locating without damage to utilities
  • Wash bay cleanup
  • Fence and post hole digging
  • Street sign installation
  • Tree planting and other landscaping
  • Wet slurry recovery from saws and jackhammer

The Perks

• Size

  • Clearly trailer-mounted units are a fraction of the size of truck-mounted options. This compactness fosters a range of perks including compatibility to work on confined, tight jobsites (think urban areas) and easiness of transportation and relocation.

• Resource Management

  • Trailer-mounted units have the option to discharge material directly into a dump truck, dumpster or container, allowing you to stay on the job without needing to clear a debris tank.

• Economical

  • Trailer-mounted machines are less expensive than their truck-mounted counterparts, which require a truck chassis and wide range of components. Trailer-mounted units are also efficient on the jobsite, though their debris tanks are a smaller size.
