2026 Sewer Equipment HX-12 27 Hydro Excavator
Hydro excavation lives at the intersection of vacuum airflow and water pressure, and the two numbers pull against each other in real-world digging. A unit with monster CFM but a weak jetting pump stalls on hardpan, while a high-PSI rig with an undersized blower chokes on wet spoils. The honest spec sheet shows continuous ratings, payload after water and fuel, and how fast the debris body actually unloads, because cycle time at the dump site is what dictates how many potholes a crew finishes before quitting time.
Daylight deeper utilities without repositioning using the DIG DEEP telescoping boom with 26 ft of reach
Haul more spoils per trip with a 12-yard debris body and greater payload capacity than comparable units
Cut through frozen ground and clay with 10 GPM at 3,000 PSI and hot/cold water capability
Unload faster at the dump through the full-opening rear door
Keep diagnostics simple with straight hydraulic operation, no computer-controlled systems
The HX-12 27 pairs a 12-yard debris tank with the DIG DEEP telescoping boom at 26 ft of reach, so daylighting around deep utilities and pulling spoils out of tight easements both happen from the same setup. A 10 GPM at 3,000 PSI water system handles frozen ground and clay, hot and cold water capability extends the season, and the full-opening rear door clears the body fast at the dump. Simple hydraulic operation with no computer-controlled systems keeps diagnostics in the shop, not on a laptop. As a new 2026 build delivered with 524 miles and 39 chassis hours from transport and PDI, this unit (VIN 3BJMBPDV2TDWF7920, Stock WF7920) is ready to assign to a crew out of our Indianapolis yard.

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...
