Contractors across Birmingham's steel/heavy industry, pipeline, and municipal sewer/water sectors turn to hi-rail vacuum truck rentals for project-based work rather than a permanent fleet addition.

Jefferson County's massive sewer system, subject of one of the nation's largest municipal sewer overhauls, drives heavy line-cleaning and hydrovac utility work.
