Air Vacuum Truck for Rent in Philadelphia, PA

Air Vacuum Truck rentals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania let you scale equipment to the workload instead of carrying an idle asset between projects.

Because Philadelphia, Pennsylvania supports municipal sewer & water (aging combined sewers), Utility construction (PECO/PGW gas), and Refining & petrochemical (Delaware River), renting lets crews match equipment to the job instead of carrying an idle asset.

Philadelphia's aging combined-sewer system and one of the nation's oldest municipal water networks generate ongoing sewer-cleaning and CCTV support work for vacuum trucks. PGW gas main replacement across old brick rowhome neighborhoods relies on hydrovac potholing to expose cast-iron lines safely.

About renting an air vacuum truck

An air vacuum truck is a vacuum excavator that uses a high-pressure air lance to break up soil instead of pressurized water, then a high-CFM vacuum to lift the loosened dry material into a debris tank. Because the spoil stays dry, it can often be reused as backfill, and there is no slurry to freeze or haul off wet.

Debris capacity
3-15 cubic yards
Vacuum power
1,000-5,000+ CFM (PD blower)
Boom reach
15-25+ feet, 6-8 inch diameter
Blower type
Positive-displacement (PD)

Common jobs for an air vacuum truck in Philadelphia

Fiber-optic and telecom potholing

Expose fiber-optic and telecom conduits precisely without the risk of high-pressure water intrusion into duct banks or splice enclosures.

Cold-weather and winter excavation

Keep excavating through freezing temperatures when water-based slurry would freeze in the tank, hoses, and hole, making air excavation a go-to method in northern climates.

Reusable backfill projects

Dig where the removed soil needs to go back in the hole, since dry spoil can often be vacuumed and returned as compactable backfill instead of being hauled to disposal.

Utility daylighting near buried lines

Safely locate and expose gas, electric, and communications lines to confirm depth and position before boring, trenching, or excavation.
