2025 Hydro-Spade 800 Truck Non-CDL Hydro-Excavation Unit
Hydro-excavation trades water volume for precision. The difference between 8 GPM at 3,000 PSI and a higher-flow system defines the work: you get the control to probe utilities without the tonnage penalty or the daily pump maintenance cost. Single-axle trucks built around that tradeoff stay in service longer and cost less to maintain.
800-gallon debris body keeps crews on-site longer between dumps
Wireless boom controller positions your operator for better visibility and safer footing
6-way articulating boom reaches tight spots and angles that fixed booms cannot
8 GPM at 3,000 PSI water system balances flow and pressure for utility location and soft-dig work
Single-axle Freightliner chassis qualifies as non-CDL, reducing licensing and training overhead
This new Hydro-Spade 800 pairs an 800-gallon debris body with a 6-way hydraulic articulating boom and wireless handheld controller, letting your operator work from the safest angle on every call. With 35 hours on the chassis engine and 1,317 miles, the unit is factory-fresh and ready for immediate deployment. The Freightliner single-axle frame handles daily municipal work without CDL licensing, and simple hydraulics mean your own shop keeps it running.
Risk of hitting buried gas, electric, or fiber lines with mechanical digging
