Description
FXT50 — DITCH WITCH TRUCK VACUUM EXCAVATOR
GO MORE PLACES. DO MORE JOBS.
The FXT50 truck vacuum excavator has the power and functionality to do it all—everything from potholing to cleanup of all types of spills, HDD fluids and jobsite debris—and do it all more quietly than any other vac system in its horsepower class.
TRUCK, VAC, DUR ABILIT Y, PRODUCTIVITY—THE COMPLETE PACKAGE.
Ditch Witch® truck vacuum excavators provide greater mobility and maneuverability on the jobsite and outstanding performance in a compact package. These systems come complete with the vacuum excavator and truck—either a single or tandem rear axle—so you control your initial investment. The vacuum excavator is mounted directly to the truck frame rails, allowing system components to flex independently of the truck, maximizing structural integrity.
The tandem rear-axle configuration allows you to tow additional equipment to the jobsite. Designed with maximum payload and towing capacity, the tandem axle configuration is built to handle heavy spoils while pulling a trailer. This helps reduce equipment wear and fuel consumption.
Like all Ditch Witch vacuum excavators, our truck vacs are construction-grade machines built with heavy-duty components that can withstand the demands of virtually any cleanup or soft excavation task. Plus, they can be customized with your choice of tank sizes and numerous other options such as wireless hydraulic booms and reverse flow.

FXT50 TRUCK VACUUM EXCAVATOR
The Ditch Witch® FXT50 Truck Vacuum Excavator has the power and functionality to do it all—everything from potholing to cleanup of most non-hazardous types of spills, HDD fluids and jobsite debris—and do it all more quietly than any other vac system in its horsepower class. And we built the FXT50 to be as robust as it is versatile, engineering it to flex independently of the truck to produce maximum structural integrity. Add it all up and you’ve got a long-term solution to all of your non-hazardous, non-flammable cleanup and soft excavation needs.
• Standard hydraulic door opens fully horizontal to maximize the efficiency of spoils removal.
• Saddle-style tanks provide optimal weight distribution to keep payload over rear axle.
• Reusable, 2-micron vacuum filter and a blower relief valve air filter provide the industry’s best filtration; optional cyclonic filter cleans the air before it reaches the filter, minimizing maintenance.
• Autoclutching feature disengages the water pump when water is not in use, allowing full system power for suction.
• The 49-hp (36.5-kW) FXT50 has an extremely efficient 1,020-cfm (28.8-m3/min) blower and a powerful water system with a water pressure capacity of 3,000 psi (207 bar) and 5-gpm (19-l/min) flow.
• Mounts directly on truck frame rails, allowing system components to flex independently of truck, for maximum structural integrity.
• Easily accessible controls and service points; curbside controls can be configured for left- or right-hand traffic.
• Designed for minimal overall package height, resulting in a lower center of gravity and better handling during transport.
• Fully enclosed, insulated and lockable power pack protects major components from weather and vandalism and leads the industry in noise reduction—at 82 dBA.
• Remote-fill water tank allows for simultaneous filling of both tanks and prevents siphoning back into the water supply.
