Axis Vac & HDD Services Ltd.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
This hydroexcavator from Axis Vac & HDD in Canada both pops in the daylight and in the nighttime with the custom neon-green paint job and under-body glow from green neon lights. The company, based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, has another truck on order, similar to this one, but orange. The truck is a 2022 Foremost 1200 hydrovac build on a 2022 Western Star 4700 chassis and sports a Detroit DD13 18-speed engine. The unit has a 4,000 cfm Roots blower (a brand owned by the Howden Group), 20 gpm wash pump, a 1,200-gallon freshwater tank and a 10-cubic-yard sloped debris tank. Axis Vac & HDD President Mitch Willie says the truck is set up for utility and pipeline work. The company, founded in 2017, has 45 employees and offers horizontal directional drilling and hydroexcavation services throughout central and western Canada. Axis Vac has other Foremost 1200 and 1600 hydrovacs in its vehicle lineup that feature either 10- or 12-cubic-yard debris tanks. On the direction drilling side, the company uses Vermeer drills.
