Vermeer has unveiled its next generation of vacuum excavators.
The two machines released at Utility Expo 2023 were the new trailer vacuum excavator the VX75 and the redesigned and larger capacity VXT600.
“The key for you guys is to make sure that you've got the uptime and make sure that you're getting more pipe in the ground and being more productive,” said Jake Jeffords, Vermeer MV Solutions director of sales, marketing, and global accounts.

Powered by a 74.3-horsepower Kubota diesel engine, the VX75 can be equipped with either a 500-gallon spoil tank with two 125-gallon freshwater tanks or an 800-gallon spoil tank with two 205-galllon freshwater tanks.
With a lightweight base, it is designed for challenging utility work, including potholing, horizontal directional drilling slurry management, and micro trenching dust containment.
The VX75 will serve as the base platform, with its lower profile and 3-foot shorter trailer length, for the new generation of Vermeer products. At that size, it makes it easier to get into urban jobsites.
