This Western Star 4900 Sewer Truck is a heavy-duty vacuum truck — also known as a vac truck — built to handle the demanding work of sewer cleaning, liquid waste extraction, and industrial vacuum excavation. Western Star is a well-established North American manufacturer of severe-duty commercial trucks, long trusted in construction, municipal, and industrial markets where rugged, high-capacity equipment is essential.
This 2013 model is offered in used condition from Iowa, USA, and comes with a strong specification sheet that points to a machine ready for immediate deployment. Power comes from a Detroit Diesel 12.8-litre engine rated at 500 horsepower, with 5,365 recorded engine hours alongside an odometer reading of 129,969 miles. Drive is handled through an Allison automatic transmission, and the truck runs a tri-axle drive configuration to support the substantial payloads and terrain demands typical of vacuum truck operations.
At the heart of the vacuum system is a large Robuschi blower delivering 6,400 CFM of airflow, which has accumulated 785 hours of use. The unit includes a remote control for the blower system, allowing operation from a safe working distance. Hydro excavation and jetting capability is provided by a newly fitted Caterpillar 3560 water pump, rated at 4,000 PSI and 20 gallons per minute. The water system is configured for hot water use and is fully insulated, making it suitable for cold-weather operation or applications requiring heated jetting. A large onboard water tank supports extended on-site work, and the truck is fitted with a large cubic-yard solids body for captured debris.
The truck holds a current DOT certification and is described by the seller as ready to work, with fast delivery available. The listed price is $198,900.
