ADK hydro excavation trucks

ADK operate and maintain Cairns' largest fleet of hydrovac units, which offer the following benefits:

  • 8000L Vermeer VX200-2000 Mega Vac – with its 3200CFM ADK’s &  teh 6000L STG vHDV6000 with 2300CFM.  Each unit offers Cairns the most powerful vac system in the area. The benefits include:


-​  Larger hose diameter and super powerful suction allows rapid removal of liquids, extraction of rocks that all other vac systems cannot lift & completion of large-scale excavations in a ¼ of the time of smaller traditional sucker trucks.

-  Boom lift hose system operated by a full function remote control with emergency stop and feedback functionality for machine vitals to ensure job site safety is a top priority.

-  Sectioned hydraulic boom, integrated steel extensions and multiple lengths of hose to reach the deepest of pits or furthest work area targets. When competitors trucks fail, it's time to call ADK and request the mega-vac.


  • 10,000L custom mega vac & 3000L standard units – If you have bulk material to move, call on the Cairns hydrovac experts ADK and they can combine multiple units to keep the job moving forward 24/7.
