Vermeer’s VX75 is designed to deliver greater flexibility for contractors tackling a range of utility and excavation applications.
Available in three configurations — standard vacuum excavation, trailer vac jetter and air excavation — the 75-hp trailer vacuum excavator combines powerful vacuum performance with application-specific features to help crews complete potholing, daylighting, hydro excavation and pneumatic tool work more efficiently.
“The VX75 combines the best design elements from prior product lines into a platform built specifically for utility work,” said T.J. Steele, Product Manager for Vermeer MV Solutions. “Having three configurations available lets contractors match the machine to their primary applications without compromising on performance.”
Standard configuration
The standard VX75 delivers 1,500-cfm vacuum performance from its Jurop blower, generating 381-mm Hg of suction. A 12.7-cm hydraulic boom reaches up to 4.3 metres, and a 30.3-litre per minute water system operates at 3,000 psi. Spoil tank capacities include 1,893-litres and 3,028-litres.
This configuration is designed for contractors focused on potholing, daylighting and excavation work where maximum vacuum power is priority.
Trailer vac jetter
In the jetter configuration, the VX75 adds a 68-litre per minute at 3,000-psi jetter system with 152 metres of 1.3-cm jetter hose, capable of cleaning pipes and culverts up to 30-cm in diameter.
Since the jetter requires engine power, this configuration runs a 1,000-cfm blower with a 10.2-cm boom. It is suitable for contractors who need pipe cleaning capabilities alongside vacuum excavation without hauling separate equipment.
Air configuration
The VX75 with air includes a 180-cfm, 110-psi air compressor for dry excavation and pneumatic tools.
Like the jetter configuration, it uses a 1,000-cfm blower with a 10 cm boom.
This setup is designed to address applications where water cannot be used or where contractors need to power pneumatic tools on site without a separate compressor.
Shared trailer vac features across all VX75 models include a full-function remote control with start and stop capability, dual cyclone filtration with a two-micron poly filter, a cam-over hydraulic rear door that opens to 50 degrees and an in-tank cleanout system.
Trailer vac design
Practical design improvements address operator needs and simplifies maintenance in the field. The extended tongue adds 45 cm to improve the turning radius when towing with larger trucks like stake bodies or small dump trucks.
Driver-side fuel fill allows operators to fuel both the truck and trailer from the same side of the pump, and a lockable fuel door provides security when equipment is parked overnight or at remote locations.
The electric-over-hydraulic tongue jack includes a manual override and is positioned on the driver’s side. Reverse pressure capability allows operators to offload material through the gate valve before opening the tank door, keeping the process cleaner and getting crews back to work faster.
For colder regions, an optional 300,000-BTU hot box operates from its own fuel tank, extending the operating season without drawing from the trailer’s main fuel supply.
A 7.6-cm crossover line between tanks fills faster when using hydrant connections. Improved hose routing throughout the unit drains completely for fast winterization in cold climates.
All boom grease points are located on one side to simplify daily maintenance
