The 49 hp FX50 vacuum excavator from Ditch Witch can be customized to a contractor’s specifications, with choices of trailer configurations and options such as hydraulic booms, water heaters and hydraulic valve exercisers. It comes with a choice of four spoils tank sizes (from 300- to 1,200-gallon capacity) and four water tank sizes (80- to 500-gallon), and can be configured with reverse flow to enable the off-loading of fluid spoils quickly and easily. The hydraulic tank door opens fully to maximize the efficiency of spoils removal. For added safety and convenience, the tank door also locks hydraulically. It can be used for horizontal directional drilling site cleanup, water leak repair, removing debris, cleaning out valve boxes, and for soft excavation tasks such as posthole digging and potholing, or exposing utilities to verify exact location prior to underground construction. 800/654-6481; www.ditchwitch.com.
