The 2019 Vermeer LP573XDT (originally engineered under the Vac-Tron brand prior to Vermeer's full corporate acquisition) is a heavy-duty, low-profile trailer-mounted hydro-vacuum excavation unit. It is widely deployed by utility contractors, municipalities, and directional drilling teams for potholing, utility line daylighting, and slot trenching. The model code breaks down into a 500-gallon debris/spoil tank capacity and a 73-inch trailer width layout, driven by an XDT configuration emphasizing a high-torque diesel powertrain.
Core Technical Specifications
Engine: Driven by a 24 HP Kohler Tier 4 Final 3-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine.Blower Vacuum Performance: Equipped with a Positive Displacement (PD) blower rated for 580 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) air flow maxing out at 14 in Hg vacuum suction.High-Pressure Water System: Packs a high-pressure washdown pump delivering 4 GPM at 3,000 PSI to blast through hard or clay soils.Fluid Capacities: Integrates a 500-gallon hydraulic-dump spoils tank accompanied by two side-saddled 100-gallon fresh water tanks (200 gallons total capacity).Filtration Architecture: Employs Vermeer's CVS (Cyclone 4-Way Valve Silencer) dual-stage filtration package. The cyclonic separator filters debris down to 0.5 microns before air hits the blower, allowing for dry vacuum applications without choking the machine.Trailer Configuration: Built onto a heavy structural steel dual-axle I-beam trailer chassis utilizing electric brakes and a pintle hitch setup.
