Hydrovac Trailer for Rent in Chicago, IL

Need a hydrovac trailer in Chicago? Submit one request and we connect you with rental companies serving the Chicago, IL area.

Contractors across Chicago's municipal sewer & water, utility construction, and commercial construction sectors turn to hydrovac trailer rentals for project-based work rather than a permanent fleet addition.

Chicago runs one of the oldest and largest combined sewer systems in the country, and its dense downtown, CTA rail corridors, and constant utility relocation work create steady demand for hydrovac daylighting around congested buried infrastructure. Deep-tunnel (TARP) and water-main replacement programs add ongoing sewer-cleaning and vacuum-excavation needs.

About renting a hydrovac trailer

A hydrovac trailer is a trailer-mounted hydro-excavation unit that uses pressurized water to break up soil and a vacuum to remove the slurry, towed behind a pickup or work truck. It offers a lower-cost, more portable entry into hydrovac work and reaches tight, confined, or off-road jobsites where a full hydrovac truck cannot maneuver.

Debris capacity
5-12 cubic yards
Water capacity
200-800 gallons
Vacuum power
1,000-3,000 CFM
Water system
