Description
FX20 — DITCH WITCH VACUUM EXCAVATION
BIG PRODUCTIVITY IN SMALL SPACES.
The FX20 vacuum excavator is designed for easy transport and smaller cleanup and excavation tasks.
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE VACUUM EXCAVATOR LINE IN THE INDUSTRY.
Versatile and powerful Ditch Witch® trailer-mounted vacuum excavators are designed for an extensive range of cleanup and soft excavation tasks. They are engineered from the ground up as a trailer vac system, ensuring superior functionality. And because operator safety and efficiency are the main priorities when building our vacs, they are designed with all controls, accessible from a curbside operator’s station.
All Ditch Witch vacuum excavators are construction-grade, built with heavy-duty components that can withstand the demands of many types of jobsites and applications. And they can be customized with your choice of tank sizes and numerous other options such as reverse flow, water heaters, and wireless hydraulic booms.
Our trailer-mounted vacuum excavator family includes a specialty machine, the MV800, which is designed specifically for handling mud from horizontal directional drill applications.
