Our vacuum trucks — also known as vac trucks, hydrovac trucks, or pumper trucks — use an advanced blow-back system for cleaning septic tanks, sewer lines, and manhole chambers. The machine generates very high air pressure to break up silt sedimentation that accumulates at the bottom of tanks and chambers, and is built around a heavy-duty vacuum pump. It can suck particles up to 40–50mm in diameter along with sludge from a distance of 100 feet and a depth of up to 25 feet. Depending on the model, the tank can tilt and the hinged rear door can open hydraulically to drain collected liquid waste or silt. The equipment includes safety features such as auto shut-off valves, a siphon filter, a safety pressure release valve, and quick-release couplings, ensuring safe operation and minimizing the risk of accidents.

Hydraulic features are added progressively as tank size increases across the GM-series. A derrick arm is available as an option on every model:
| Model | Tank Tipping / Rear Door | Door Locking | Suction Hose Reel | Derrick Arm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GM-3500T (Trailer) | Manual | Manual screw-type | — | Available as an option |
| GM-3000 | Hydraulic | Manual screw-type | — | Available as an option |
| GM-5000 | Hydraulic | Hydraulic | — | Available as an option |
| GM-8000 | Hydraulic | Hydraulic | Hydraulically operated | Available as an option |
Note: the trailer-mounted GM-3500T does not offer hydraulic tank tipping or door opening at all — those become available starting with the GM-3000.
The suction hose is sized to match the vacuum pump's flow, so the hose itself doesn't choke the pump. The GM-3500T, GM-3000, and GM-5000 all use a 390 cum/hr vacuum pump paired with a 3" (75mm) hose; the GM-8000's higher-flow 540 cum/hr pump needs a wider 4" (100mm) hose to move that volume without excessive restriction.
The GM-3000, GM-5000, and GM-8000. The trailer-mounted GM-3500T uses manual tank tipping and a manually opened rear door.
The GM-5000 and GM-8000. The GM-3500T and GM-3000 use manual screw-type locking.
Only the GM-8000, in addition to its hydraulic tipping, door opening, and door locking.
Yes — a derrick arm is available as an option across the entire GM-series, from the GM-3500T through the GM-8000.
Our Super Sucker is a high-velocity sewer jetting and deep-suction combination machine suitable for removing blockages, soluble grease, sand, and other material from storm and combined sewer pipe drains. The pumps are designed for continuous, high-speed work, so sewer lines can be cleared in minutes.
The Super Sucker is equipped with a high-pressure jetting machine for effective clearing of sewer line blockages, and a vacuum pump for deep suction. It also includes a crane for lifting manhole lids.
The equipment includes safety features to protect the vacuum pump from water intake.
The equipment also includes safety features for the jetting pump.
The machine has a heavy-duty vacuum pump, jetting pump, pressure release valve, vacuum release valve, suction filter, and a thermoplastic hose rated to a 400 bar bursting pressure. Along with the jetting hose, the machine is equipped with a hand-triggered gun for cleaning and washing. We provide quick couplers for easy attachment and detachment of the suction pipes.
