The MEGA 2000 skid-mounted vacuum excavator from Vermeer by McLaughlin can pothole for existing utilities, then remove drilling fluids from larger and longer bore projects. The larger-capacity spoils tank allows the contractor to stay on the job and reduce the need for time-consuming dumping. It has a 99 hp Kubota diesel engine with a 1,200 cfm blower, with a 2,000-gallon spoils tank and 925 gallons of freshwater. The upgraded MEGA 2600 is paired with a power pack, providing additional suction power with a 23-inch Hg DEEP blower for increased fluid management capabilities, plus a 300-gallon freshwater tank. 864/277-587; www.mclaughlinunderground.com.
