The Vermeer VXT600 vacuum excavator has undergone a complete
redesign. Its load capacity has been increased for road use, and the
component and technology reliability and serviceability have been
optimized. Furthermore, the machine incorporates performanceenhancing
features to boost productivity for vacuum crews.
With a 12-cubic-yard elongated spoil tank design and 1,200-gallon
freshwater tank capacity, VXT600 is the lightest vacuum excavator truck in
its size class, weighing in at just 40,000 pounds. This new design allows
for even weight distribution when traveling, while maximizing the volume
of material hauled. It also has a low profile - 12.25-foot height, with
boom - so it can maneuver under trees, power lines and bridges.
VXT600 is a powerful digging machine that operates quietly while on
the job. Its vacuum system is powered by a 6,400-cfm (181.2-m3
/m) Helical
tri-lobe Jurop blower. With a 23-foot (7-m) boom, an 8-inch (20.3-cm)
diameter dig hose, a vacuum level of 27 inHg (.91 bar), and a water pump
that produces 10 gallons per minute (37.9 L/min) of flow at 3,000 pounds
per square inch (206.8 bar), the VXT600 can dig quickly and deeply.

Paccar MX-13 engine and 6-speed Allison 4500RDS transmission, and
Mack Granite truck with a 505-horsepower Mack MP8 engine with
6-speed Allison 4500RDS engine. Both chassis have an 86,000-pound
GVWR and two pusher axles.
Other customization accessories include a 180-cfm 110-psi air
compressor for dry digging and powering pneumatic tools, a 20-gallonper-minute
water pump to allow crews to dig with two wands, a 420,000
BTU Dynablast hot water heater, and a cold weather kit to heat cabinets,

" It is an excellent choice for utility contractors who want to increase
their potholing productivity, " said T.J. Steele, product manager for Vermeer
MV Solutions. " We designed the new VXT600 from the ground up with the
goal of making the lightest 12-yard (9.2-m) truck on the market. " UI
