Vactor is the name professionals turn to for sewer cleaners, catch basin cleaners, jetters and vacuum excavation trucks. At the Vactor Manufacturing plant in Streator, Illinois, we engineer and manufacture equipment known for purpose-built durability and reliability, so you can work assured that you can keep going until the job is done.

Clean sewers are essential for clean water. Effective sewer cleaner trucks help protect the environment by cleaning and maintaining sewer systems preventing overflows that could pollute fresh water resources. For public works professionals and contractors, the Vactor name is synonymous with sewer cleaning trucks. Yet even within the specialization so clearly associated with our name, we offer a full range of distinct, industry-leading products customized to suit the needs of our customers – combination sewer cleaners, catch basin cleaners and water jetters.

Vactor 2100 Series combination sewer cleaners combine high-pressure water jetting to scour pipes clean and a high-flow vacuum source to vacuum load the material that can cause blockages. This helps restore and maintain normal sewer flow.

When a dedicated catch basin cleaner is needed, the Vactor 2100 Series CB (catch basin cleaner) is equipped with a highly maneuverable boom and powerful vacuum source to move from basin to basin, cleaning out rocks, dirt, leaves, litter and other debris that can clog the storm sewers and prevent them from working properly during rain events.

The Vactor Ramjet is the perfect machine for faster, safer response to sewer blockages, as well as regular preventive line maintenance. Given its simple and maneuverable design, a single operator can operate the Ramjet truck, trailer or skid mount and get the job done quickly and effectively. With your choice of hose reel locations, unique productivity-enhancing options and a variety of accessories, the Ramjet can be configured to exactly match your needs.

Vacuum Excavation and Hydro Excavation

Safety is the key reason why vacuum excavation is important on even ordinary repair and maintenance jobs. Many states require a visual verification around utilities before repair or construction work can begin - preventing accidents that can cost millions in damage and risk of injury or death to workers and the public. The added bonus is the small repair holes, possible only by using vacuum excavation, which reduces environmental and surface replacement costs and is less disruptive to traffic and commerce.

The Vactor HXX Series of Hydro Excavators®, are proven leaders in hydro excavation, with a full line of powerful machines that safely tackle major excavations while also managing smaller jobs with precision. Vactor offers the widest range of vacuum excavators for the Utility Industry ranging from single to four-rear axle vacuum trucks, 3.5 cu. yard to 15 cu. yard debris capacity, and air, water or both for digging. For over 50 years, Vactor Manufacturing has been building durable, reliable products using air conveyance, high pressure water and vacuum technology.
