What Is a Vac Truck?

A vac truck (vacuum truck) is a specialized vehicle equipped with a high-powered vacuum pump and debris tank. It can safely suction and transport liquids, slurries, sludge, and dry materials. Many units are also fitted with hydro-excavation features, using high-pressure water for precise, non-destructive digging.


Key Components

  • Vacuum pump: Generates powerful suction

  • Debris tank: Stores extracted material securely

  • Suction hose: Accesses tight or confined areas

  • Water pump: Used for hydro excavation and washing

  • Boom: Extends reach for trenching and service locating
