HX15 Hydrovac Truck and 900 ECO Combo Truck
Welcome Back!
Welcome back to our latest blog post where we dive into the nitty-gritty of heavy-duty equipment of hydro excavation, and sewer jetting that truly gets the job done. Today, we’re placing a spotlight on a remarkable piece of machinery that’s changing the game in the world of hydro excavation. We’re talking about the impressive Sewer Equipment Ramvac HX-15 Hydrovac Truck, and the unparalleled service and support offered by Rollins.
Why Choose hydro excavation
But first, let’s touch on why hydro excavation is becoming the go-to method for contractors and municipalities, especially here in BC. Hydro excavation is a method of removing earth through high-pressure water. It’s a non-destructive and more precise way to dig, reducing the risk of damaging existing underground infrastructures like utilities, pipelines, and cables. It’s efficient, and cuts down on both man-hours and overall project costs.
Meet the 900 ECO Sewer Cleaner – Join the eco revolution
Let’s talk about the 900 ECO Combo Truck. It is built to handle everything from routine maintenance to unexpected emergencies, this combo truck doesn’t back down from a challenge. The 900 Eco Sewer Truck is equipped with advanced suction capabilities and high-pressure water jets that make even the toughest blockages a breeze. Whether in urban environments or remote locations, its efficiency and versatility are great!
Key Features of the Ramvac HX-15 Hydrovac Truck & 900 ECO

T4 Electric and T7 Methane
T4 Electric
When designing the T4 Electric Tractor, multiple factors were considered, when comparing it to a diesel tractor. The T4 outperformed the diesel in terms of being more responsive, efficient, and increased traction control (New Holland, 2022). This unit will also save “you up to 90% in operating costs” (New Holland, 2022). This Tractor is well suited for low horsepower activites, such as working in Orchards and Vineyards, mixed farm and municipalities. It will also be possible to operate this tractor during quiet hours, as “noise is reduced by 90%”(New Holland, 2022). Finally the T4 Tractor Tractor is fitted with cameras and sensors. The tractor can also be programmed to the farmers desired settings. via a smartphone app. The “Shadow Follow Me feature allows machines to work together”(New Holland, 2022).

Automated Trucks Takes Over the Refuse / Recycling Industry
Automated Trucks
Automation has rapidly taken over the refuse collection industry, with municipalities turning to automated garbage and recycling trucks.
Almost all cities in Canada are now using automated garbage trucks. In a CBC report, Edmonton Councillor Ben Henderson said he’s been asking about automated trucks for a long time, stating people in other cities are happy with the systems.

Single Driver Operation
Many of the automated garbage and recycling trucks can be operated by a single driver. Automation provides operators better economy, safety, performance and durability. Affordable refuse truck options include: front loaders, rear loaders, automated side loaders and recycling bodies.
Meet Your Needs With an Automated Truck
Ranging from small to over-sized body capacities, these modern automated trucks are engineered to meet all garbage and recycling needs, regardless of the size of an operation. They can generally collect in excess of 500 to 800 homes per day, depending on factors, like terrain and haul distances. And with these automated garbage and recycling trucks, rain, snow, and even wind are no longer a major issue.
