Mud Dog Vacuum Excavators are designed for operator convenience and consistent performance to meet the challenges of a wide variety of applications from compact, urban projects to large-scale excavation, potholing and trenching projects.
Mud Dog units come standard as a hydroexcavator with an optional air excavation package. The product line comes in a variety of model configurations, including the 700, 1200 and 1600. The new 700 model was designed to be a small, compact unit, suitable for urban environments. It features a 7-yard debris capacity and 600-gallon water tank capacity. This allows for a shorter turning radius and maximum legal payload.
Versatility
With the Mud Dog, the operator can choose to dig with the best application for the job — water or air. Due to the precision and non-destructive nature of hydro and air excavation, debris can be removed without causing damage or destruction to the surrounding dig area. Hydroexcavation utilizes high-pressure water to break up solid materials and is effective in any soil condition, while air excavation utilizes compressed air to break up materials and is ideal for more sensitive debris removal applications where any sort of water introduction would be counterproductive or damaging.
The Mud Dog 700 is equipped with a rear mounted extendable, 8-inch diameter boom that reaches 18 feet, has 270-degree rotation and moves in a 10-degree downward pivot. This allows for versatility within dig areas so that units do not need to be readjusted and can be located away from an excavation point. This minimizes the impact and restoration on a job site and eliminates traffic congestion near roads. Additionally, units come standard with a boom light package enabling safe working conditions in dark environments.
Efficiency
Units come standard with a variety of features to ensure efficient workflow and increase productivity. Mud Dogs operate using variable speed; the blower and water pump can be run at different speeds while operating. This enables operators to work as efficiently as possible on the job site by adjusting the speed for a specific function needed at the time. This also allows for fuel efficiency, so that users do not have to run full rotations per minute to vacuum up debris.
The 700 model has easily accessible storage for tubes and nozzles located at the rear of the unit. Operators do not need to spend a lot of time finding and attaching the necessary items to perform a job. There is also wheel chock storage tucked under the debris body and a safety cone rack for easy access while setting up at a job site.
Safety
Mud Dogs are equipped with various solutions to ensure operator safety on and off the job site. The 1200 and 1600 models come standard with a safe and efficient dumping solution: ejection unloading. Due to its smaller size, the 700 comes standard with a dump unloading system with the capability to dump into a 48-inch container while maintaining a low overhead height and a low center of gravity for increased stability.
Backup cameras and alarms are used to notify the entire crew that the unit is in motion. Additional safety solutions include a vacuum breaker, tailgate prop, emergency stop switches, and visual and audio alarms such as when the boom or the body is in an up position.
