Custom Vacuum Trucks & Liquid Waste Vehicle Builds
custom vacuum trucks should be built around your routes, materials, climate, and crew workflow, not forced into a generic spec sheet. KeeVac Industries designs and builds liquid waste vehicles that match real field conditions so you can move faster, stay compliant, and reduce downtime.
Built for the Way You Work
If your operation does not fit a standard setup, a custom build can solve the problems that slow crews down, such as hard-to-service plumbing, cold-weather failures, poor hose management, or tank configurations that do not match your job mix.
Common reasons customers request a custom build
- Route density requires faster setup and faster dump cycles
- Materials vary across septic, grease, industrial, or mixed loads
- Cold weather demands heated valves, insulation, and freeze protection
- Chassis constraints require a smarter layout for safe weight distribution
- Operators need simpler controls and safer work zones

Custom Vacuum Truck & Tank Options
Every custom vacuum truck build starts with the same goal: make the equipment easier to operate, easier to maintain, and more reliable in your real-world conditions.
Tank and compartment configuration
- Custom tank size recommendations based on job type and route density
- Compartment splits for fresh, waste, grease, brine, or reclaimed water
- Lifting and dumping tanks for easier offloading of sludge and solids
- Cleanouts and access planning to reduce maintenance time
Plumbing, pumps, and controls
- Specialized plumbing and pump setups for grease pickup and delivery
- Water-cooled systems for demanding industrial and continuous-duty work
- Custom controls layout for safer operation and faster training
- Hose reels, toolboxes, work lighting, and jobsite efficiency upgrades

Cold Weather, Hot Loads, and Specialty Conditions
Custom builds often come down to the conditions that break standard setups, including freezing temps, thick materials, long duty cycles, or mixed-use routes that require smarter tank design.
Cold-weather packages
- Heated tanks and heated valves for freezing environments
- Insulation and layout choices that reduce freeze risk
- Service-friendly access so winter maintenance is quicker
Industrial and continuous-duty considerations
- Cooling strategies for high-demand operation
- Reinforced components where wear is highest
- Safer work zones and practical service access
