The SYSTEM 2000 represents our best efforts to bring you the most efficient vacuum excavator possible...the performance you need at a price you can afford.

The design team for the SYSTEM 2000 drew upon all that we have learned about vacuum excavation over the past ten years. Many of the features pioneered by Vacmasters and developed and refined in the original VAC-N-DIG and VAC-N-DIG/SYSTEM 3 machines have been further refined and incorporated in the SYSTEM 2000. Features such as our single engine design, self-purging filtration system, laminar flow nozzle and selectable air or water digging are all present in the SYSTEM 2000 and enable operators to perform the most billable work in the least amount of time. The ability of the SYSTEM 2000 to play an important role in lowering costs and increasing productivity is the main reason why we are so excited about the SYSTEM 2000.

The SYSTEM 2000 is installed on a 14' flatbed body mounted on a heavy duty one-ton diesel chassis at our cost without mark-up or, if you prefer, we will install the SYSTEM 2000 on your chassis or on an 8000 lb. GVW trailer.
