The Vermeer VX 50-500 vacuum excavator from McLaughlin Group has a Tier 4 Final engine and an engine enclosure to help reduce engine noise levels and vibration. The large access door to the engine enclosure provides improved accessibility. Contractors can also lock the enclosure doors, helping deter potential vandalism. An improved external hydraulic door opens at an 85-degree angle, allowing for easy and rapid dumping and cleaning of the spoils tank. A mechanical cam-over locking system provides a 360-degree positive door seal, even under reverse pressure, without additional clamping requirements. The lockable control console has a color graphic monitor. Its low-profile design allows access to areas limited by height restrictions. 800/435-9340; www.mclaughlinunderground.com
