2026 Sewer Equipment HX-12 18" Hydro-Excavator
Hydro-excavation trades water pressure against tank capacity. Systems optimized for speed at high PSI can't hold much debris; systems built for payload sacrifice reach or flow. The HX-12 splits the difference with a 10 GPM system at 2,500 PSI and an optional 18 GPM upgrade, letting you pick the balance that fits your work without switching trucks.
18 to 23 foot reach with 320 degree radius covers more ground per setup
12 yard debris tank moves payload in fewer passes than lighter-duty rigs
Shorter overall length than competitor models navigates tight access routes
Simple hydraulic operation, no computer controls, fieldable repair complexity
10 GPM or optional 18 GPM water system lets you tune for pressure or volume
The DIG DEEP telescoping boom pairs 18 to 23 foot reach with a 320 degree working radius, loading a 12 yard debris tank faster than competitors in the same class. A Western Star 47X chassis keeps overall length shorter than comparable units, critical when access routes are tight or site maneuvering space is limited. Full opening rear door speeds unloading, and hot and cold water capability handles both soft excavation and ice breakup without separate equipment. This 2026 model arrives new and ready to deploy.
Risk of hitting buried gas, electric, or fiber lines with mechanical digging

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...
