Unleashing Performance and Precision: The Ditch Witch HX20G
In the world of vacuum excavation, few machines combine compact efficiency with rugged capability as seamlessly as the Ditch Witch HX20G. Representing the perfect fusion of power, ease of transport and jobsite versatility, this trailer-mounted vacuum excavator is engineered for professionals who demand performance without compromise.
A Compact Powerhouse Built for Modern Jobsites
At the heart of the HX20G is a robust Kohler petrol engine delivering 26.5 hp of dependable power — enough to drive meaningful excavation work without the complexity or cost of larger machines. Its fixed 150-gallon (567 L) vacuum tank strikes an ideal balance between capacity and manoeuvrability, giving operators the muscle to handle a wide variety of tasks without overwhelming transport requirements.
Whether you’re tackling utility potholing, site cleanup, stormwater tasks, landscaping prep or non-destructive excavation ahead of directional drilling, the HX20G delivers strong suction performance and practical water capacity, all on a 2.8T ATM trailer package — a testament to thoughtful engineering at a fraction of the footprint of bigger units.
Engineered for Efficiency and Ease of Use
Beyond raw numbers, the HX20G’s design focuses on operator-friendly details that make every day work easier:
- Compact design: Easy to tow with standard light vehicles and trucks, this unit boosts fleet flexibility and cuts transport costs across projects.
- Balanced performance: With 541 cfm vacuum and 15 inHg lift, you get reliable soft excavation capability right where you need it.
- Water system ready: A generous 90-gallon (341 L) freshwater tank supports efficient hydrovac excavation with high-pressure water available on demand.
- Push-button door operation: Say goodbye to manual door operation with the HX20G – rear kerb side push-button operation boosts convenience and safety during unloading and cleaning.
This thoughtful combination of power, tank capacities and trailer-friendly sizing means less downtime, fewer logistical headaches, and more productivity on every job site — from urban dig-up tasks to routine maintenance work.
Why the HX20G is a Smart Buy
For contractors and rental houses alike, the HX20G stands out because it:
- Maximise productivity without overspending: Big vac performance in a compact, transport-friendly package.
- Reduces fleet complexity: One machine can serve multiple applications, keeping your operations lean and adaptable.
- Encourages uptime: Reliable engines and practical service design help keep the machine working day in, day out.
