Vacuum Excavation Hire
Why hire a Vacuum Excavator?
Vacuum Excavation is a technique that is also known as Suction Excavation and is the most economical approach that is available today.
Hiring a Vacuum Excavator is ideal for construction jobs, both big and small. The on-site operatives are far safer than when using the traditional excavation techniques, such as manual digging and this has vastly become a method that offers a much lower risk option for companies.
Our Vacuum Excavation System
Our Vacuum Excavation equipment is available to hire 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have a highly trained team of operators and competent drivers who hold the current safety and construction site certification.
If your project involves wet or dry material, our Vacuum Excavators will easily suck up and use our dust-free exhaust outlets to rid of any fibre.
The excavation systems we provide have a full variation of sizes ranging from 6m³ to 12m³ and come equipped with a suction depth of up to 20m, as well as a suction length of up to 250m (dependent on material). They are also fitted with radio controlled 6m power reach arms.
Standard 32 Tonne Vacuum Excavator
- Weight
- 32 tonnes
- Width
- 2.5m
- Height
- 4.1m
- Length
- 10.1m
- Wheelbase
- 5.85mm
Our machines are able to suck wet or dry material and have dust free exhaust outlets. They have varying hopper sizes ranging from 6m³ to 12m³ and have a suction depth of up to 75m and a suction length of up to 250m, depending on material. Our excavators are also equipped with a hydrostatic drive enabling the suction arm to operate and move simultaneously.
Standard 26 Tonne Vacuum Excavator
- Weight
- 26 tonnes
- Width
- 2.5m
- Height
- 9.7m
- Length
- 3.8m
- Wheelbase
- 5.85mm
Our large 12m³ excavators can use either hydro-excavate or compressed air, but are much more suited to those larger, more heavy duty applications.
The Tracked-Vac
- Width
- 2.54m
- Height
- 3.16m
- Length
- 7.62m
- Capacity
- 4.5m³
- Arm Length
- 3.5m
Its tracked undercarriage allows access to off-road locations unreachable by traditional wheeled trucks, making it ideal for precision excavation on buried surfaces. Combining the high-performance fan system and suction hose diameter of the renowned 26-ton Dino 3 with an 8-metre chassis and a powerful 525-horsepower engine, it sets a new benchmark in excavation capability.
VC70
- Weight
- 2.5 tonnes
- Width
- 1.26m
- Height
- 1.97m
- Length
- 3.3m
- Capacity
- 3.5m³
The VC70 is a compact, remote-controlled vacuum crawler designed for efficient and safe excavation, capable of removing a wide range of materials (soil, gravel, mud, and water) while minimising damage to underground utilities and the surrounding environment.
The Citysucker
- Weight
- 9.2 tonnes
- Width
- 2.3m
- Height
- 3.19m
- Length
- 6.2m
- Wheelbase
- 3.6mm
Introducing the Citysucker by Safe Excavation – a high-performance vacuum excavation unit engineered for tight-access urban sites. Its compact design allows for precision excavation in areas where larger excavation units may struggle to operate, all while minimising disruption to surroundings. Delivering up to 32,000m³ of airflow, the Citysucker is powerful enough for demanding jobs yet designed with the city in mind.
The Brokk
- Weight
- 1.4 tonnes
- Width
- 0.78m
- Height
- 1.25m
- Length
- 1.25m
The Brokk Vacuum Excavator is a revolutionary remote-controlled solution for debris removal and maintenance tasks. It offers a nodig, environmentally friendly method for excavation, particularly in urban and suburban areas, minimizing the risk of damage to hidden utilities and reducing unnecessary excavation.
Our “Safety First” Approach
The team at Safe Excavation offer the latest state-of-the-art Suction Excavators for hire. Our trucks provide exceptionally high power suction that has the ability to deal with the majority of ground surfaces. It is a much safer way to excavate and reduces the potential for personal injury to an absolute minimum. The excavated material from the vacuum is then contained in our remote units, and then transported for disposal. If you take us on for your next excavator hire, our contractors and operators take care of the entire process.
Our Excavation Services
Our suction excavators can be hired on a basis of as and when you require our team. Our vehicles are ideal for a range of roadworks, as well as complex digging projects such as installing utilities and repairing power lines. If you need to dig the entire road up or want to carry out repairs within a short area of cable, our team will be there to assist you from start to finish.
The excavators within our fleet are used in live situations in which the road or area is cordoned off, but the day-to-day business can continue to occur around. Enabling this reduces the potential risk to any members of the public who walk by and also helps our team to complete the excavation in a shorter time frame than the other excavation methods would.
By manual digging to expose power lines will come with a certain amount of risk. According to online statistics, there are many as 60,000 service strikes every single year and when a service strike can cost as much as £7,000 (or more), it begins to add up. Any other method that can vastly reduce these unwanted outlays and costs is essential.
In certain areas, using hand tools isn’t practical and that is why a Vacuum Excavator is such a benefit for you and your team. Our trucks arrive on-site, on time and are ideal for areas that are difficult to reach, without taking up too much space.
Suction Excavator Services
We can offer an array of Vacuum Excavators to carry out the exact excavation that is required by using a remote-controlled arm. The arm can be called into service once the area has been clearly marked and when the team are informed of the required depth.
The Vacuum Excavator is then able to go into work mode and will remove the ground material within a short space of time, which means that your team can go into the excavated area and begin their side of the work as quickly as possible.
Types of Vacuum Excavation Equipment
Compact Excavators
Our Compact Excavators can either hydro-excavate or use the compressed air to expose the underground services in a tight or confined area
Large 12m³ Excavators
Our large 12m³ excavators can use either hydro-excavate or compressed air, but are much more suited to those larger, more heavy duty applications.
Trained Operators
We pride ourselves on having a team of fully trained and competent drivers, who hold the current safety and construction site certification.
