Sucker trucks – the clean, cost-efficient alternative
May 23, 2022
Playing a critical role in keeping construction sites compliant
When it comes to on-site mud removal, spills, and clean-ups, vacuum or ‘sucker‘ trucks
are indispensable.
They play a critical role in keeping construction sites in compliance with local regulations.
Most builders and site owners are required to have adequate erosion control measures in place, and that usually means using vacuum or ‘sucker‘ trucks
to deal with any accidental spills.
Sucker trucks are essentially tank trucks that have a heavy-duty vacuum system designed to suck in liquids, sludge, or slurry. The material is then transported to another location for disposal.
Sucker trucks are used extensively in the construction sector but are also used in the petroleum, gas and mining industry for cleaning tanks and spills, and removing wet material.
Sucker trucks can also be used for a variety of purposes, such as cleaning sewers and storm drains, emptying septic tanks, and removing debris or liquid.
Excavac’s
modern fleet of sucker trucks are a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to remove all types of waste products.
Our units hold between 4000 and 8000 litres of spoil and 3000 litres of fresh water each. Excavac
are also Australian-owned and operated.

onboard?
1. COST SAVINGS
Conventional methods of excavation often require a large number of workers to do the site clearing and digging. Vacuum trucks need only one or two operators to complete the task, saving on labour costs.
2. EFFICIENT OPERATION
Having a sucker truck onsite mean less downtime. They don’t need to be transported back and forth to the location, while waste is captured directly into the truck’s debris tanks, making it ready to be disposed of.
3. VERSATILE
Vac trucks are also versatile, and capable of breaking up the soil on a building site and turning it into slurry, so that it can be sucked up and removed from the area. They are also ideal for creating uniform holes for posts and poles, quickly and safely.

Due to its effectiveness, hydro excavation has become increasingly popular in construction projects. However, selecting the right vacuum truck requires consideration of a number of factors.
Our comprehensive surveying methods, coupled with non-destructive hydro excavation, leave no stone unturned—quite literally—when prioritizing safety.
The advantages of hydro excavation are primarily centred on significantly reducing risks when compared to traditional methods like mechanical excavation, jackhammering, and drilling.
