Compact Hydroexcavator by GapVax Offers Greater Maneuverability

Designed for optimum hydroexcavation performance, maneuverability and better weight distribution when working in metro areas, the GapVax HV33 is shorter, smaller and more compact than the company’s traditional hydroexcavation machines.

The specs

Built upon its wet/dry filtration system, the HV33 offers a powerful 4,000 cfm high-vac positive displacement blower for quieter operation. The hydraulically driven triplex water is pump is rated 3,000 psi at 12 gpm with options available for wireless engagement and pressure control.

This unit is available with GapVax’s new curbside controls package that allows for all systems — including the chassis transmission — to be controlled from the curbside control panel with the touch of a button.

The HV33 hydroexcavator is 30 feet long with an inverted, fully opening tailgate to shorten the overall length and improve weight distribution. The 600-gallon stainless steel water tank and 6-cubic-yard debris body allow operators to work within weight restrictions.  

An onboard scale system is available to monitor the front axle, rear axle and overall gross weight. An 8-inch top-mounted telescoping boom has an 18-foot reach, 270-degree rotation, and has been optimized for hydroexcavation work.

Focusing on a compact body while maintaining top-notch performance, GapVax designed the HV33 for optimal user-friendliness.


GapVax Inc. was first initiated by Gary A. Poborsky more than 40 years ago. At the time, he was out of work and had a family to feed. A flood had just ripped through the city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, leaving behind a devastating mess. Poborsky says the “mother of invention is having your back against the wall,” and he wasn’t kidding. He secured a loan, purchased a vacuum truck from his former boss and got to work helping to clean up the city.

Poborsky formed GAP Pollution and Environmental Control Inc. and worked with various brands of vacuum equipment before building his own. At first, he built industrial vacuum equipment for his service company, but when others wanted to buy it, he established GapVax Inc. and is now an industry leader in custom manufacturing industrial and municipal vacuum equipment.
