Vacuum excavation is the modern solution to a long-standing challenge, using high-pressure water or air to break up soil and safely reveal underground infrastructure, such as gas, water, electricity, and communication lines, without causing damage.
Today, most contractors know how critical vacuum excavation is, especially since the ground beneath footpaths and roads is a web of vital services powering households and businesses.
For contractors, choosing the right vacuum excavation machine is no small task. It can be the difference between winning a contract and losing it to a competitor. The stakes are high, but Vermeer Australia makes it easy.
What sets Vermeer apart?
Gone are the days when contractors had months to source equipment. Projects start fast, and downtime is costly. That’s why Vermeer Australia has trucks fitted with vacuum excavation machines ready to roll – whether contract starts in a week or a month. From 2000L to 7600L machines, with a range of power capabilities, the company has got projects covered.
With 13 dealerships across Australia, Vermeer Australia is ready to support operations no matter where the project is. Its experienced sales managers work with clients to understand needs, ensuring they get the machine that maximises efficiency, minimises downtime, and boosts your profitability.
Built to perform, designed to last
Vermeer’s vacuum excavation machines are built with the industry’s best components:
- Engines from trusted brands like John Deere, Kubota, and Yanmar ensure reliability and power
- Root blowers, known for their efficiency and durability, feature a dual oil bath system for both gears and bearings. Unlike others that rely on grease on one side (an easy oversight leading to costly failures), our blowers are designed to keep you running smoothly
Smart boom design for maximum productivity
Operator fatigue from handling heavy, mud-filled hoses can slow down your crew, and blockages in traditional booms can lead to hours of downtime.
Vermeer’s telescopic booms solve these challenges:
- The hose widens in diameter along its length, starting at 5 inches and extending to 8 inches. Blockages, when they occur, are almost always in the narrower section. Unlike other vacuum excavators that use the same diameter for the whole length of the hose.
- Using the remote control, operators can lower the boom to chest height and clear blockages in seconds – no need to leave the site or lose valuable time.
- With 270 degrees of rotation, Vermeer booms provide unparalleled reach and manoeuvrability.
Vermeer vacuum excavation machines are built with unmatched features that give users a competitive edge. The reverse flow technology allows users to clear blockages in seconds with the simple flip of a lever, saving valuable time and reducing downtime throughout the year, which boosts both profits and client satisfaction. Additionally, the patented Cam-Over locking rear door keeps the spoil tank securely sealed, preventing messy leaks during transport and ensuring a clean and efficient operation.
Vermeer machines also come equipped with advanced operator features designed for ease and safety. User-friendly controls, in-tank cleanout systems, and safety components enhance the overall experience, while the precise water pump PSI-to-litre ratios and integrated weight scales ensure your truck stays within legal limits. These thoughtful innovations make Vermeer the top choice for reliable and efficient vacuum excavation.
