Remote Controls for Hydrovacs

Why Hydrovac Operators need a great remote control

Remote controls are important for operators of hydrovacs due to several reasons:

  • Safety cone

    Increased operator safety

    Hydrovacs are used for non-destructive excavation and are commonly employed to expose utilities or dig in crowded areas. By utilizing remote controls, operators can maintain a safe distance from potentially hazardous situations, such as underground utility lines or unstable soil conditions, while operating the hydrovac equipment.

  • Remote control

    Enhanced precision and control

    Remote control technology allows operators to have precise control over the hydrovac's functions, including water pressure, vacuum suction, boom movements, and other operational parameters. This level of control enables operators to perform accurate and efficient excavations, ensuring that only the intended material is removed and minimizing the risk of damage to underground utilities.

  • Trophy with star

    Improved productivity and efficiency

    Remote controls enable operators to control the hydrovac from a distance, providing them with better visibility and freedom of movement. This increased mobility allows operators to optimize their workflow, maneuver the equipment easily, and complete excavation tasks more efficiently. They can quickly adjust settings, change operational modes, and respond promptly to changing conditions, ultimately improving overall productivity.

  • Shield with checkmark

    Risk reduction during hazardous conditions

    Remote controls are particularly valuable in situations where operators need to work in hazardous environments or adverse weather conditions. For example, in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or extreme temperatures, remote controls enable operators to operate the hydrovac from a sheltered or comfortable location, ensuring their safety and well-being.

  • Moving cogs

    Versatility and adaptability

    Hydrovac remote controls can feature customizable screens and programmable options, allowing operators to tailor the controls to their specific needs and preferences. This adaptability ensures that operators can efficiently and effectively operate the hydrovac equipment, irrespective of the task at hand, thereby maximizing the versatility of the equipment and its applications.
