2026 Sewer Equipment HX-12 27 Hydro Excavator
Hydro excavation specifying often comes down to a tradeoff buyers underestimate: digging speed versus haul cycles. A bigger debris tank means fewer trips to the dump site, but it adds length and weight that fight you on tight job sites and bridge laws. The honest sweet spot for most municipal and utility crews is a mid-size debris body paired with a boom long enough to keep the truck parked while the operator works the hole.
Cover more digs per setup with a 26 ft DIG DEEP telescoping boom and 12-yard debris tank
Break frozen or greasy spoils faster with hot and cold water at 10 GPM and 3,000 PSI
Unload at the dump in less time through the full-opening rear door
Keep maintenance simple: hydraulic controls, no computer-controlled systems to diagnose
Work tighter sites than comparable 12-yard trucks thanks to a shorter overall length and higher payload
The HX-12 27 pairs a 12-yard debris tank with a DIG DEEP telescoping boom that reaches 26 feet, so one setup covers more potholing and daylighting work before you reposition. A 10 GPM at 3,000 PSI water system with hot and cold capability handles frozen ground and grease-bound spoils, and the full-opening rear door clears the tank fast at the dump. With 2,582 miles and 77 chassis hours, this 2026 unit is effectively new, and Sewer Equipment built it without computer-controlled systems: simple hydraulic operation that any operator or mechanic can read. Shorter overall length than competing 12-yard units gives you better maneuverability on residential streets, and the payload runs higher than comparable trucks in the class.
