GapVax hydroexcavators are multipurpose systems for virtually every wet-dry vacuum project imaginable. The company’s HV-55 has a 12 1/2-cubic-yard debris body and water tanks from 400 to 1,400 gallons.
Specs include a positive displacement blower rated at 5,250 cfm with 28 inch Hg. GapVax’s patented filtration design includes five cyclones, which prolongs the life of the filter bags and eliminates the costly threat of material entering the vacuum pump. The tailgate is fully opening, field adjustable and also has four fail-safe, individually adjustable locks that assure a complete seal.
Optional equipment includes cold-weather package, sludge pump, wireless remotes, washdown system, stainless steel body and more.

COMPANY HISTORY
Gary A. Poborsky originally started building equipment for his own service company, GAP Pollution & Environmental Control Inc. As GAP continued to grow, Poborsky began modifying his equipment so it could withstand the harshness of the industrial cleaning industry. When customers requested only the trucks that Poborsky himself built, he knew he had another business opportunity.
In 1989, GapVax, Inc. was founded with the mission to design and build some of the highest quality industrial vacuum equipment in the industry. Armed with more than 20 years’ direct service industry experience and the passion to improve the products used by the workers at the end of the hose, GapVax vacuum trucks today are renowned for high-efficiency filtration, low maintenance and durability.
GapVax’s diverse line of products has earned it a reputation of delivering reliable service in the toughest work environments.
GapVax currently spans 15 acres to include 250,000 square feet of manufacturing space at the former U.S. Steel site in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. “We pride ourselves on keeping manufacturing jobs in Pennsylvania and employ 120 people and counting,” says a company spokesperson. “Our second location, GapVax Gulf Coast, opened in 2014 and sits on five acres with a 7,800-square-foot facility for sales, service and parts.
