McLaughlin Booth K120 McLaughlin will introduce an all-new version of its most popular vacuum excavator for utility potholing, the VX50-500, at ICUEE. The next generation of the VX50-500 has a no-hassle hose configuration, a modular truck mount design and a Kubota Tier 4 final engine with a common fuel rail system. The no-hassle hose was designed with the end user in mind, allowing contractors to hang the suction hose on the side of the machine when moving between jobsites. This eliminates the need to coil or disconnect the hose, which increases productivity while reducing operator fatigue. Aluminum blower and water belt tensioners keep consistent pressure on the belt, extending its life and simplifying service. The VX50-500 also has McLaughlin’s cam-over rear door design, three-stage cyclonic filtration system and in-tank wash down system.

Miller Electric Booth 3342 Miller will showcase work truck solutions that help reduce truck idle time, fuel usage, engine hours and maintenance costs, including the latest advancements in engine drive technology.
