2024 Sewer Equipment HX-12 27" Hydro-Excavator
Hydro-excavation balances water flow against working pressure, and that tradeoff determines whether you can cut through clay and root mat or just rinse debris into suspension. The machine you choose locks in that capability for years.
Move 12 cubic yards of debris per load without the frame length of larger units
Reach 18 to 23 feet with a 320-degree working radius from a compact chassis
Dig with 10 GPM at 2,500 PSI, or upgrade to 18 GPM for softer ground and faster cycle times
Open the rear door fully for fast unloading without tarp removal or additional equipment
Operate a simple hydraulic system with no computer modules to troubleshoot in the field
A 12-yard debris tank paired with an 18 to 23 foot telescoping boom gives you payload and reach without the length penalty competitors carry. Running 1,008 hours on the chassis and 8,721 miles, this 2024 unit operates with a simple hydraulic system, no computer controls, and a 10 GPM water delivery at 2,500 PSI, with an 18 GPM option available. The 320-degree working radius and full-opening rear door speed debris unloading between calls. Hot and cold water capability handles frozen ground and post-dig cleanup without a separate unit.
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

When a mainline blocks up, you need a truck that starts reliably and stays running on the job, not one that's waiting on a computer reboot or a part...
