Their product line features both chassis-mounted and trailer-mounted units with debris tank capacities ranging from compact units to full-size models exceeding 12 cubic yards.

Known for their engineering focus on operator safety and productivity, TRUVAC units incorporate features like safe-digging water pressure systems, ergonomic boom controls, and enclosed operator platforms.
