    Productivity

    Easy access to power pack for convenient servicing.

    Optional heater keeps water system from freezing in inclement weather and increases production in tight soils.

  • Rugged design
    FXT50
    Rugged design

    Designed specifically for mounting on truck frame rails, allowing system components to flex independently of truck, for maximum structural integrity.

    Designed for minimal overall package height, resulting in a lower center of gravity and better handling during transport.

    Saddle-style tanks provide optimal weight distribution to keep payload over rear axle.

    Reusable, 0.5-micron vacuum filter and a blower relief valve air filter provide the industry's best filtration; optional cyclonic filter cleans the air before it reaches the filter, minimizing maintenance.

    Ease of use

    Easily accessible controls and service points; curbside controls can be configured for left- or right-hand traffic, for greater safety and convenience.

    Remote-fill water tank allows for easy filling and prevents siphoning back into the water supply.

    Integrated tool rack on door and underbody hose storage help simplify operation.

    Ladders provide easy access to truck bed and can be stowed when not in use.

    Optional hydraulic boom extends to 14 ft (4.3 m); saves labor, time and reduces operator fatigue.

    Optional reverse-flow feature enables quick and easy offloading of spoils.

    Standard hydraulic door opens fully horizontal to maximize the efficiency of spoils removal; door also features hydraulic locks.

    Autoclutching feature disengages the water pump when water is not in use, allowing full system power for suction.
