“When it comes to non-destructive vacuum excavation, it’s not only about the overall size of the vehicle - there are a number of key factors that need to be taken into account. Together with factors such as tank / hopper capacities and vacuum pressure, there are also the critical issues relating to size, maneuverability, ease of use of the equipment and, perhaps most importantly, the operating costs.”
