McLaughlin
This fall, McLaughlin will introduce the next generation of its most popular vacuum excavator with an update including a no-hassle hose design to help save crews time and energy. The VX50 Gen 3 vacuum excavator features a hose that can hang on the side of the machine as potholing crews move from hole to hole. Current designs on the market require a hose to either be coiled into place or disconnected and put away. The VX50 Gen 3 vacuum excavator will be available this fall through the Vermeer global dealer network.www.mclaughlinunderground.com
