What are Vacuum Trucks?

Vacuum trucks are specialized vehicles designed to collect and transport liquids, sludge, and soil for cleanup and disposal. Powered by a high-performance vacuum truck pump, these trucks create pressure within the tank to suction materials efficiently. They are used across various configurations, including skid-mounted pull-behind vacuum trailers, pumper trucks for septic and sludge removal, and municipal trucks for sewer cleaning and water treatment. Vacuum truck pumps also play a critical role in hydro-excavation trucks, supporting oil recovery and precise excavation tasks. These versatile systems serve industries such as municipal services, sanitation, power & utilities, oil & gas, and industrial operations.
