What Are Vacuum Trailers Used For?
Hydrovac Excavation
Pressurized water breaks up soil while the vacuum simultaneously removes the slurry — safer and more precise than mechanical digging near underground utilities.
Industrial Cleanup
Removal of sludge, liquid waste, drill cuttings, and industrial byproducts from tanks, pits, sumps, and containment areas.
Environmental Remediation
Spill cleanup, contaminated liquid removal, and hazardous material transport for environmental contractors and government agencies.
Municipal & Ag Use
Septic and grease trap pumping, lift station cleaning, and agricultural waste management across Northern California's farms and municipalities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Used Vacuum Trailer
What's the difference between a vacuum trailer and a vacuum truck?
A vacuum truck has the tank and pump mounted on the truck chassis itself. A vacuum trailer is a separate towable unit — you supply the truck. Trailers are often more cost-effective since they can be pulled by an existing vehicle in your fleet, and they allow the truck to be used for other tasks when the trailer isn't in service.
What should I inspect when buying a used vacuum trailer?
Key areas: tank integrity (look for corrosion, cracks, or liner wear), pump condition and hours, hose and fitting condition, valve operation, and frame/axle condition. We go through all of these before listing any unit. If you'd like to inspect in person, you're welcome to visit our Anderson, CA yard.
What size vacuum trailer do I need?
It depends on your job volume and frequency of dumping. If you're doing large industrial jobs or long hauls between dump sites, larger tanks reduce trips and increase efficiency. For smaller municipal or ag jobs, a 500–1,500 gallon unit is often sufficient. Call us — we're happy to help you size it right.
Can vacuum trailers handle hazardous materials?
Some can, but it depends on the tank material (carbon steel vs. stainless vs. aluminum), lining, and certification. If you need to handle regulated or hazardous waste, ensure the unit meets DOT and EPA requirements for your specific material. We can advise on what's in our inventory.
Do you carry vacuum trailers for agricultural use in Northern California?
Yes. Vacuum trailers are widely used in agriculture for manure management, liquid fertilizer hauling, and irrigation pit cleanup. The Sacramento Valley and surrounding Northern California ag regions are an important part of our market.
Can I pick up a vacuum trailer at your Anderson, CA location?
Absolutely. Our yard is in Anderson, CA, off I-5, and buyers are welcome to inspect and pick up directly. We can also arrange delivery or shipping anywhere in the US.
