Trenchless Technology SolutionOur VM400 is a small, compact all in one Vacuum Excavator.
Idealy suited for:
A vacuum excavator, also known as a hydrovac or hydro excavation system, is a non-destructive digging machine used to safely expose underground utilities without damaging buried infrastructure.
The VM400 uses:
This excavation method is commonly used for:
Compared to traditional excavation methods, vacuum excavation significantly reduces the risk of utility strikes, repair costs, and project downtime.
The VM400 delivers the performance of a larger hydrovac system in a compact and highly mobile design.
The VM400 incorporates an advanced three-stage filtration system designed to maximise vacuum efficiency while reducing filter maintenance.
The filtration system includes:
This highly efficient filtration process minimises airborne dust and reduces the frequency of filter cleaning during excavation operations.
The VM400 uses a high-performance positive displacement tri-lobe vacuum blower delivering 550 CFM of continuous airflow.
Benefits include:
The powerful vacuum system is ideal for:
The VM400 incorporates a fully galvanised 400-litre spoil tank with hydraulic tipping functionality for fast and efficient spoil disposal.
The hydraulic tipping system enables quick dumping and reduced downtime on site.

Vacuum excavation is widely recognised as one of the safest methods for exposing underground utilities.
Traditional excavation equipment can damage buried infrastructure if service plans are inaccurate or outdated.
The VM400 hydro excavation system reduces the risk of:
This makes vacuum excavation ideal for sensitive excavation environments and live utility maintenance projects.
We supply vacuum excavation equipment across Australia for:
A vacuum excavator is used to safely expose underground utilities using high-pressure water and vacuum suction without damaging buried infrastructure.
Non-destructive digging is an excavation method that uses pressurised water and vacuum recovery instead of mechanical digging equipment to safely remove soil around underground services.
Hydro excavation uses water and vacuum technology to safely expose underground assets with less risk of damage, while traditional excavation relies on mechanical digging equipment.
