Our Fleet
Over 365 vehicles and trucks
An in-house designed fleet built to perform in the field
Fast, safe and impeccable service
across Quebec and Ontario
Sanivac is a fleet of over 365 specialized trucks designed to meet real-world field needs. Each vehicle is designed, drawn, and built in-house, in our own garages, in collaboration with our mechanical team and our operators. This unique approach allows us to offer unmatched efficiency, optimal safety, and performance tailored to each of the services we provide.
Our fleet includes different types of trucks : vacuum, hydro-combination units, hydrovacs, steam de-icing units, sanitary trucks, trailer delivery trucks, and roll-off trucks for transporting equipment and containers. Whether it’s sewer cleaning, septic pumping, sump pit unclogging, winter de-icing, portable toilet delivery, or precision digging through hydro excavation, we have the right vehicles, ready to respond quickly.
Fully custom-designed to meet the needs of our services and on-site realities, our trucks are at the heart of our promise: to provide clean, fast, safe, and well-executed service. Supported by our team of over 435 employees and our 8 branches in Quebec and Ontario, we ensure full coverage of the region with a reliable fleet, carefully maintained, and always ready to roll.
Our different truck models
HYDRVAC TRUCK
The hydrovac truck allows for soil excavation using hydro-excavation, a gentle method that does not damage underground utilities such as gas, electricity, water, or sewer lines. Our trucks are equipped with a pump delivering up to 6,400 CFM, 28 inches of mercury, a flow of up to 20 GPM, 6,000 PSI, and a long boom reaching up to 28 feet. Additionally, some of our hydrovac trucks are also equipped with a 185 CFM compressor for pneumatic excavation.
Septic tank pumping truck
The septic tank pumping truck allows for the emptying of septic tanks using its two tanks, capable of pumping up to 3,000 gallons of liquid and solid waste. Our trucks are equipped with filters that clean the wastewater during pumping and return the filtered water to the tank once cleaned. This process helps maintain the bacterial balance in the tank, ensuring proper function and decomposition of solid matter. It also reduces the volume of material that needs to be treated, making the process more environmentally friendly and compliant with environmental standards.
Grease trap pumping truck
The grease trap emptying truck allows for the complete draining of the tank, as well as cleaning of the pipes and trap walls thanks to its tank, which collects grease and sludge. The truck is also equipped with a sweeper for areas that are difficult to reach and a water hose for cleaning the trap once pumping is completed.
Sewer cleaning truck
The scraper truck is a low-pressure truck used for cleaning pipes, storm and sanitary sewers, culverts, garage drains, and suspended pipelines. Our trucks are equipped with several types of pressure hoses—1″, ½”, and ⅜”—which allow for cleaning various types of pipes. The trucks feature a pressure system of 80–90 GPM with 2000–3000 PSI, and burners of 1,000,000–1,500,000 BTU, enabling pipe thawing or cleaning of grease-laden pipes. Our trucks are equipped to clean pipes up to 600 feet long and have water tanks of up to 3,000 gallons.
Steam thawing truck
Our de-icing trucks are custom-built to efficiently de-ice various surfaces using dry steam. They can heat up to 2,000,000 BTU and supply up to three hoses simultaneously, each reaching up to 300 feet. This ensures high operational efficiency without wasting time. The trucks have a maximum water capacity of 1,000 gallons, with the option to refill from a fire hydrant or a tanker truck.
Combination vacuum and hydro jetting truck
The combination hydro truck is a hydrovac truck equipped with a 1-inch high-pressure hose at the front of the cab, allowing it to perform hydro-excavation as well as sewer and pipe cleaning. The truck has a larger water tank than a standard hydrovac, and the 1-inch hose delivers a high flow rate of 80 gallons per minute, enabling debris to be removed quickly and efficiently. The combination hydro truck is versatile, capable of meeting multiple operational needs.
Miscellaneous vacuum truck
We have several types of miscellaneous vacuum trucks that allow for dry pumping, wet pumping, some specialized for sump pumping, and others, more powerful, for jobs requiring longer hose reach. All our vacuum trucks are equipped with multiple suction hoses ranging from 2 to 8 inches in diameter and a 3,000-gallon debris tank, enabling pumping and unclogging of all kinds.
Low-profile vacuum truck (mini vacuum)
The low-profile mini-vacuum truck is custom-built to access tight spaces where regular vacuum trucks cannot reach, such as garages, underground parking lots, alleys, and areas with limited height. It provides direct access to facilities without compromising pumping efficiency and power. The truck can operate in spaces as low as 73 inches and is equipped with a 500-gallon debris tank, a pumping capacity of 900 CFM, and 28 inches of mercury vacuum pressure.
Vacuum tanker truck
The vacuum tank truck is designed to transport large volumes of liquid with its 8,500-gallon tank. It is generally used to carry wastewater to treatment facilities but can also supply other trucks with water during large-scale operations or when fire hydrants are not accessible. It is equipped with a suction hose, providing a pumping capacity of 1,600 CFM and 28 inches of mercury, making it self-sufficient for emptying certain types of tanks.
Sanitary block service truck
These service trucks are used for cleaning and servicing portable toilets and restroom trailers. They allow for pumping, cleaning, and restocking directly at the rental sites. The trucks are similar to standard toilet service trucks but feature a larger fresh water tank to refill sinks with higher volumes. Water supply is maintained year-round, in both summer and winter. They also restock toilets with paper and soap, as they are equipped with multiple compartments for sanitary supplies.
Portable toilet service truck
Toilet service trucks are used for cleaning and servicing portable toilets. They allow for pumping, cleaning, and restocking toilets directly at rental sites. The trucks are equipped with a fresh water tank to refill toilet sinks year-round, in both summer and winter. They also restock toilets with paper and soap, as they feature multiple compartments for sanitary supplies.
Towing truck
The tow truck allows for autonomous delivery of portable restroom units, thanks to its all-terrain forklift that can move the units to the desired location. The truck is equipped with a water tank to supply the restrooms and trailers with water during delivery.
Portable toilet delivery truck
The portable toilet delivery truck is equipped with a large platform and a lift, allowing it to transport and deliver multiple chemical toilets manually. The truck has both a fresh water tank and a waste water tank to supply the toilets with water and perform cleaning services, enabling delivery and setup in a single trip.
Sanitank reservoir
The Sanitank reservoir is a sealed, mobile, large-capacity tank designed for managing liquids, sludge, pumped water, or non-abrasive contaminated water. The tanks have a capacity of up to 21,000 gallons. The Sanitank reservoir is transported and moved using its rear wheels and our truck-trailer, allowing our team to handle its mobilization and delivery.
Roll-off truck
Our roll-off trucks are specifically designed to handle the delivery, pickup, and replacement of containers directly on your job sites. Maneuverable, robust, and modern, these vehicles are suited for residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Thanks to their high-performance hydraulic system, they allow precise container placement, even in tighter spaces. Each truck is operated by an experienced driver trained to provide fast, safe, and efficient service. With Sanivac, your container logistics are in good hands — from drop-off to pickup.
