This 2011 Freightliner Business Class Sewer Truck — sometimes referred to as a hydro excavation truck or vac truck — is a purpose-built combination unit designed for underground utility work, sewer maintenance, and non-destructive digging using pressurised water and vacuum suction. Freightliner is a well-established American commercial truck manufacturer serving construction, municipal, and industrial sectors across North America, and their Business Class platform has long been a popular chassis choice for vocational equipment builds of this kind.
The truck is equipped with a Vac Con VX311LH hydro excavation system, giving it the capability to simultaneously blast material loose with high-pressure water and extract the resulting slurry through a large-diameter vacuum system. The vacuum side features a three-stage fan and an 8-inch suction hose, feeding into an 11-cubic-yard debris tank — a substantial capacity that reduces cycle times on demanding jobs. The water delivery system is powered by a Giant pump rated at 20 GPM at 3,000 PSI, drawing from an onboard 800-gallon water tank. Both a side-mounted high-pressure hose reel and a side-mounted low-pressure hose reel are included, providing flexibility for different task requirements. A wireless remote is also fitted, allowing the operator to control the system from a safe working distance.
The chassis is powered by a Cummins ISC diesel engine producing 350 horsepower, paired with an Allison 3000 RDS automatic transmission for smooth, reliable power delivery across varied terrain and operating conditions. Air brakes, air conditioning, and a cab-mounted PTO system are all part of the specification. Axle ratings are 20,000 lb front and 40,000 lb rear, giving a combined gross vehicle weight rating of 60,000 lb.
Hour and mileage records indicate relatively light use for a truck of this vintage: the odometer shows 31,477 miles, total truck hours stand at 7,932, and PTO hours — directly reflecting time spent operating the vacuum and water systems — are logged at 3,001. The unit is located in California, USA, and is offered used at $129,900.
