Operated vac trucks from Warana for service exposure, pit and trench excavation and spoil recovery, from Caboolture and Morayfield up to Noosa and Gympie.
Most Sunshine Coast vac truck bookings come from civil and subdivision work: exposing services before a connection, digging pits and short trench runs beside new drainage, and lifting spoil and slurry out of places a bucket cannot reach without damaging what is already installed. The truck loosens the ground with water or air and draws the material into its tank by suction.
Units are based at Warana and go out with an operator who runs the truck, the boom and the hose. The depot covers the coast from Caloundra to Noosa, the hinterland around Nambour and Beerwah, and the growth areas at Aura and along the highway corridor between Caboolture and Gympie.
Yes, seen from the other side of the booking. Vac truck hire, vacuum truck hire and hydrovac are what people ask for on the phone. Vacuum excavation is the work the truck and operator carry out once they arrive. On the Sunshine Coast it is booked through the Vacuum Excavation service, and the operator comes with the truck.
Subdivision and civil infrastructure work makes up a large share of vac truck demand across the region. On a new estate the truck usually sits inside someone else’s programme: exposing a recently laid main so a connection can be made, excavating around pits as drainage goes in, or cleaning out chambers and sumps before a stage is handed over.
That work runs to the civil contractor’s sequence, so the useful detail at booking is which stage the truck will be supporting and what has to be finished before the crew moves on. A unit that arrives when the drainage gang is ready saves more time than a bigger one that turns up a day late.
Greenfield estates around Aura and the southern growth areas generally have room to stand and turn a large unit, and a 10x4 vacuum truck earns its place there on long runs and larger pits because it keeps working longer between trips to tip. In the established coastal suburbs, narrower streets, driveways and parked cars often favour a more compact truck working on a longer hose run.
Hinterland jobs raise different questions: gradients on the approach, unsealed or soft access, and how close a truck can get to the working face. Mention them at enquiry. They decide the unit more often than the size of the hole does.
A new Fuso tipper joined the Sunshine Coast depot in 2026, working from the same yard as the vacuum fleet. Where a job produces dry spoil, broken reinstatement or general site material alongside the slurry in the tank, the tipper can clear it, bring in backfill and bedding, and let reinstatement follow the excavation more closely.
Booking both from one depot means the two are programmed together instead of through separate suppliers working to separate timetables. Slurry and dry material go to disposal points suited to each, and disposal is confirmed in the quote rather than sorted out on the day.
Warana sits between the Brisbane and Hervey Bay depots, and the Sunshine Coast depot also supports works north towards the Fraser Coast. The tipper based here covers the corridor between Brisbane and Hervey Bay for the same reason: jobs that fall between regions are reached with less travel.
Where a Fraser Coast programme needs more capacity than Hervey Bay alone can supply, the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane depots provide it. Give the full programme at enquiry, including any Fraser Coast sites, and the units are planned across the depots together. Urgent jobs can be raised on 1300 822 878.

Safety on site
Yes. Warana is the base, and the region reaches from Caboolture, Morayfield and Burpengary in the south to Gympie in the north and inland to the hinterland. Those areas are covered from Warana rather than from a depot in each town, and availability for a particular date is confirmed at enquiry.
Yes. The Sunshine Coast depot runs a tipper alongside its vacuum fleet, so spoil removal, backfill delivery and reinstatement support can be quoted with the excavation. Tell us what material has to leave site and what needs to come in.
