Built With Operators for Operators: Brandt Brings Hydrovacs to CONEXPO

Hydrovac manufacturer features collaborative product design at show.

March 2, 2026

Hudson, IL – Brandt will be showcasing their HX090 and HX120 hydrovacs at CONEXPOCON/AGG 2026, the largest North American construction show, in Las Vegas, NV, from March 3 – 7, 2026.

Shaped by real-world insight, Brandt hydrovacs are designed to increase productivity and make operators’ lives easier. Through a collaborative design process, Brandt heard from hydrovac operators, dealers, and contractors and delivered a machine that addresses realworld challenges with simple, operator-focused solutions.

“We listened to operators, and they told us they needed a truck that’s easy to use while still driving higher productivity,” said Dan Coley, Director of Truck Products at Brandt Industries. “We designed the HX090 and HX120 with those priorities in mind—features that make a real difference for customers who rely on these machines every day. The result is some of the most productive hydrovacs in the industry, with quick start-ups and efficient trenching capabilities.”

Some ways Brandt applied that operator insight include an industry-leading, 28’ boom reach on the HX120 and a quick-start feature that activates the hydraulics, vacuum system, and water pump at the push of a button. They are also purpose built to eliminate common issues hydrovac operators experience. For example, they include less wiring to minimize failure risks; no transfer drive, so you can drive and operate at the same time; and no unloader valve for smoother pump control.

“The boom reach is phenomenal,” says Jason Taylor, Shop Supervisor at Basin Environmental. “Plus, not having a transfer case to shift into a gear, and to just push a button to get your hydraulics and your blower going—that’s pretty big deal for us.”

You can see these hydrovacs for yourself at CONEXPO, Booth S26557 in the South Hall, 1st level. Brandt will also have heavy haul trailers at that booth and an outdoor booth featuring a North American-built material handler and more. Territory managers and Brandt representatives will be at each booth, ready to sit down and talk with anyone interested in learning more about the company and their products.
