DrainVac 6x4 Hydro Excavation Trucks

Clean and dig with the one truck.

The DrainVac combines drain cleaning and hydro excavation (NDD), giving you total flexibility in the jobs you can perform. It has stainless steel waste and water tanks, tipping, and full opening doors, and our mechanically engineered hydraulic control systems. This unit is easy to operate, and maintain, meaning more time on the job.

Proven Performance

Designed and specified by VTS, this new range carries the same proven standards found across our vacuum trucks and trailers and is built to suit Australia’s unique conditions. Add VTS’s simple, computer-free control system and you’ve got a robust, practical unit that’s ready to go straight to work, without the complexity or ongoing costs that can come with over-engineered electronics.
In short, these trucks are built for real jobs, tough crews, and harsh environments. They’re built to be used, and built to be abused.


Rugged Construction

The DrainVac is engineered for durability, with a fully welded stainless-steel tank that resists corrosion, abrasion, and constant loading. Heavy-gauge materials, precision welds, and a reinforced chassis integration deliver strength under high vacuum pressures and heavy payloads.

Industrial-grade pipework, valves, and fittings ensure reliability, while protected hydraulics and robust sealing systems minimise downtime. Built tough for Australia’s harshest conditions, the DrainVac is ready for continuous, demanding operation.

Simple operation

The DrainVac is designed with operators in mind. Its straightforward, hydraulic-driven controls eliminate the need for complex electronics, making the system intuitive and easy to master. Clear panel layouts and manual overrides ensure operators stay in control at all times, even in demanding conditions.

With fewer electronics to fail, maintenance is reduced and uptime is maximised. From start-up to shut-down, every function is engineered to be quick, reliable, and hassle-free, so crews can focus on the job, not the equipment.

Easy to Maintain

The DrainVac is built for straightforward servicing, with accessible component layouts and minimal moving parts. Key wear items like filters, seals, and valves are easy to reach and quick to replace, reducing workshop time and costs.

With no unnecessary electronics and a robust hydraulic system, maintenance is simple and breakdown risks are minimised. The result is a truck that stays on the job longer and keeps your business running smoothly.
