2024 Sewer Equipment HX-12 27" Hydro-Excavator
Hydro-excavation balances water pressure and flow rate against tank size and boom reach. Push too hard on PSI and you sacrifice GPM; maximize flow and you lose precision. The machine that threads this needle pays for itself in cycles per day and debris tonnage per tank.
Recover more debris per cycle with a 12-yard tank and 320-degree working radius
Unload fast with full-opening rear door, cutting turnaround time between runs
Precise depth control and simple hydraulic systems keep you digging, not troubleshooting
Shorter overall length than comparable units, easing tight jobsite and easement access
Hot and cold water capability built in for year-round regional operations
A 12-yard debris tank paired with an 18 to 23 foot DIG DEEP telescoping boom gives fast debris recovery and working radius flexibility without adding overall length. Running 10 GPM at 2,500 PSI with an optional 18 GPM system available, this 2024 model carries 9,316 miles and 1,008 chassis engine hours. Full-opening rear door speeds unloading, hot and cold water capability handles freeze-risk regions, and simple hydraulic operation eliminates computer-controlled complexity on jobsite repairs.
Risk of hitting buried gas, electric, or fiber lines with mechanical digging
Costly damage claims and project shutdowns from utility strikes
Regulations requiring non-destructive excavation near existing utilities
Frozen ground in winter that stops conventional excavation
