2025 Hydro-Spade 800 Non-CDL Hydro Excavation Truck
Hydro excavation specs read big on paper, but the number that matters most on a non-CDL chassis is payload after water. Every gallon of water you carry is roughly 8.3 pounds, and every cubic yard of wet spoil can run 2,500 to 3,000 pounds. On a Class 5 or 6 chassis with a non-CDL GVWR ceiling, the debris tank fills up long before the water tank empties, which is why mid-size units are spec'd around tank ratio and boom reach, not raw horsepower.
Put non-CDL drivers on a hydro excavation truck and widen your hiring pool
Work residential streets and tight easements with a chassis built for a small turning radius
Daylight and pothole with 8 GPM at 3,000 PSI and a 6-way articulating boom
Haul 900 gallons of spoil per load before dumping
Service hydraulic controls without computer diagnostics or proprietary software
The Hydro-Spade 800 pairs a 900-gallon debris tank with a 6-way articulating boom and an 8 GPM at 3,000 PSI water system, sized for daylighting, potholing, and residential utility work where a full-size vac truck can't turn around. Running on a non-CDL chassis means you can put more operators behind the wheel without CDL hiring constraints. This is a new 2025 build with 410 delivery miles and 15 chassis engine hours, controls are simple hydraulics with no computer diagnostics to chase, and the tight turning radius keeps it useful on cul-de-sacs and tree-lined easements. Stock VX9691, serial HS-800S142, priced.
