Why Choose Miniquip For Your Vacuum Excavation?
Unmatched Safety and Precision
Traditional excavation is inherently risky. Manual digging or backhoe use near high-voltage power lines, gas mains, and telecommunication systems can lead to catastrophic outages and hazardous site conditions. Our hydro vacuum excavators remove these risks by using high-pressure water to liquefy the soil, which is then instantly recovered by a powerful suction system. This “potholing” technique ensures that underground services are exposed visually without physical contact from mechanical teeth or blades.
Eco-Friendly and Commercially Efficient
Hydro vacuum excavation is a clean, environmentally friendly process that significantly reduces labour costs and project timeframes. Because the vacuum equipment can be operated at a distance from the excavation point using extended hoses, it is the perfect solution for tight spaces and constrained sites. Choosing Miniquip means you are opting for a safe, non-mechanical, and uncomplicated process that reduces surface impact and minimises the expensive reinstatement of landscaped areas.

Vacuum Excavation Hire FAQ
Potholing is the practice of digging a small test hole to visually confirm the location of underground utilities. Using a vacuum excavator ensures this is done without any risk of damaging the utility, as the water jet and vacuum are non-destructive to pipes and cables.
Yes, Miniquip specialises in dry hire. We provide the equipment in perfect working order, and you provide the operator. All our machinery meets stringent industry safety standards.
Our Vermeer VM400 trailers (available in petrol and diesel) are designed for versatile ground conditions. They are particularly effective in Perth’s sandy soils but also have the high-pressure water capability to cut through heavier clays and compacted materials.
Absolutely. Even with non-destructive digging equipment, you must always consult Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) plans before commencing any ground disturbance to ensure you are aware of all potential hazards.
Our fleet is used extensively across the civil, mining, oil and gas, government, and utility sectors for mains exposure, post-hole installation, and slot trenching.
Because our vac excavator hire fleet is in high demand, we recommend contacting our Perth branch as early as possible with your project dates to ensure we can reserve a unit for you.
