Suction Excavator Trucks for Sale (4)

Suction excavators are used in roadside repairs and will remove the waste materials – saving the transportation and use of a normal excavator or backhoe loader, as well as replacing the grab loader that would have to clear up after the dig. The Suction excavators – also known as ‘Saugbaggers’ (from the German saug – or suck) can carry out the work of a traditional excavator in limited room and at speed with little mess and worry.

A powerful suction excavator can suck up material from a depth of 40 m and most suction excavators work with a suction hose diameter of 250 mm
