Already well-known among utility install contractors for its wide range of HHD rigs, Ditch Witch also offer a selection of Vacuum excavators.

The HX20G, the latest addition to the Ditch Witch HXG-series vacuum excavator lineup, is purpose-built to meet the evolving needs of the construction industry. Engineered for high performance and user-friendly operation, it offers a powerful solution in a compact, easily transportable package.

Despite its modest size, the trailer-mounted HX20G delivers exceptional suction power, making it suitable for demanding excavation and cleanup tasks. Operators can choose between a 150-gallon or 300-gallon spoils tank, both paired with a 90-gallon fresh-water tank, to accommodate various job sizes and site conditions.

The HX20G is powered by a 27hp Koher EFI petrol engine for optimal suction power and water pressure to remove slurry and expose existing utilities for easy repair or replacement. It features a 541cfm blower and 3000psi water pressure capacity, increasing operator efficiency and precision on the jobsite.

Its compact dimensions allow towing behind a standard pickup truck, maximising fleet flexibility and reducing transportation costs. Additionally, a redesigned access door and operator interface simplify daily operations and maintenance, reducing downtime and training needs.

The HX20G's versatility shines through in its ability to tackle a wide range of applications, from utility locating to debris cleanup and landscaping, making it a cost-effective choice that enhances profitability.

Warlock W12 and W8

In addition to the HX20G, Ditch Witch has launched a large truck vac - the W12, which is the first truck vac in the Warlock series to be released.

The W12 offers dual 600-gallon saddle tanks and a 12cu.yard debris tank bringing increased capacity and performance to the jobsite. Dual hose reels, as well as the ability to both hydro and air excavate with the same truck, add to the versatility of the Warlock series.

Available with a 5000cfm blower and a 27in Hg of vacuum power, the W12 helps operators take on bigger jobs and maximise jobsite uptime.

A second addition to the Warlock family of vacuum excavators is the W8, which offers power and versatility, in a smaller package when compared to the W12, making it the perfect option for contractors working in urban areas or jobsites with space constraints.

The Warlock series offers a solution to a variety of jobsite challenges, tasks and demands. Whether the jobsite requires the capacity and performance of the W12, or the versatility and power packaged within the more compact W8, the Warlock line of vacuum excavators are equipped to tackle a diverse array of projects with unrivalled efficiency.
