The most powerful and compact truck-mounted vacuum excavator yet

Available from CEA, the Ring-O-Matic 275 vacuum excavator is unmatched in performance and reliability.

CEA is a leading distributor of equipment brands for agricultural and infrastructure industries, with Ring-O-Matic one of several brands in its inventory developing innovative solutions for underground construction.

Known for its extensive background in truck-mounted vacuum excavators, Ring-O-Matic has now extended its range to include the 275 VX: a high-powered vacuum excavator within a compact and practical design. This new machine provides a 250-gallon (946 L) spoil tank and 600 CFM blower, powered by a 31hp Deutz diesel engine.

The 275 VX is the perfect machine for many applications including hydro excavation, waste clean-up, concrete slurry management, fence post setting, microtunnelling and much more. CEA Underground Product Manager Scott O’Hare says the 275 VX is ideal for the Australian market.

“Given its compact design, its suitable for a large range of applications across commercial and residential spaces. While its more compact, the 275 VX doesn’t compromise on power, making it the perfect choice for those considering purchasing a trailer mounted vacuum excavator,” he says.

Suitable for truck or trailer mount configurations, the 275 VX showcases the diversity of the Ring-O-Matic vacuum excavator line up. The machines will be available through CEA on 4.5T ATM trailers, or single skid mount for truck mounting.

The 275 VX offers unmatched performance and reliability, while the heavy-duty frame, large axle capacity and Roots 600CFM vacuum pump blowers ensure the 275VX is designed to withstand the most rugged conditions.

The compact, low profile of the excavator provides good visibility for the operator and stability in rough locations. Fitted with a premium silencer package, the 275 VX produces minimal noise making it ideal for applications in urban areas.

Its balanced design provides optimum tongue weight, reducing wear on the operator’s truck. The machine comes standard with reverse flow for fast tank draining and the ability to blow obstructions out of the vacuum hose. It can also backflush the filters for quick, easy cleaning, and is fitted with a unique single handle door latch design for convenient access.

Key features

Controls: the controls located on the front curb side provide easy access with a lockable cabinet and magnetic remote that can extend if remote operation is required.

Water tank: the single water tank is capable of holding 100 gallons (378 L) and includes a low water shutoff feature. A single water tank provides better reliability and less maintenance for operators.

Reverse flow: the 275 VX offers reverse flow standard, which allows the operator to pressurise the tank for easy offloading and assists in clearing hose obstructions.

Rear door: the spoil tank door is mechanically locked with a single-lever spider door locking system. The hydraulic door opens 75 degrees, which provides the industry’s widest opening rear door in its class, ensuring better access for easier cleaning.

Baghouse filtration: the baghouse filtration that follows the Cyclo-Separator filtration has a washable and reusable filter that is easily cleaned after use.

The first 275 VX truck mounted vacuum excavators will arrive in Australia later this year.
