4 Considerations Before Specializing in Hydro Excavation
With April being National Safe Digging Month, the team at TRUVAC is highlighting the many uses of hydro excavation in safe digging practices as well as key considerations before making a hydro excavator purchase.
National Safe Digging Month spreads awareness for
safe digging best practices and calling 811 before any digging project. Not only does calling 811 for proper marking of utilities help prevent damage to underground gas, electric and water lines, but it also helps protect public and personal safety.
From potholing to slot-trenching, TRUVAC hydro
From potholing to slot-trenching, TRUVAC hydro excavators and vacuum trucks can
handle a variety of applications.
excavators and vacuum trucks can handle a variety of applications. Hydro excavation and vacuum excavation are best practices when it comes to safe digging. They reduce the risk of striking an unknown underground utility.
For those considering hydro excavation, here are four
considerations for that decision process:
1. Precision: Hydro excavation leaves minimal excess soil and enables accur ate digging even in small enclosures or hard-to-reach places.
2. Safety: TRUVAC hydrovacs such as the APXX and TRXX utilize high-pressure water to break up soil and a
vacuum to transfer the debris to a tank. This enhances safety for both the operators and those near the site. With hydro excavation, operators can excavate from a distance, while also reducing the risk of striking underground utilities.
3. Multifunctional: Whether locating utilities or excavating in cold temperatures, hydro excavation works across a wide array of applications including potholing, flood water cleanup, hazardous liquid removal and more. For cold temperatures and frozen ground, TRUVAC hydrovacs use a water heater when necessary to allow for precision excavation.
4. Durability: Hydro excavators like TRUVAC’s are built to handle tough jobs, and TRUVAC’s support
network provides parts and service centers from coast to coast.
Hydro excavation provides a plethora of benefits, whether it be in small spaces, urban areas or hard-toreach sites. It allows for greater precision, and its safety benefits are numerous.

Diversifying Your Portable Toilet Rental Business
SHIFTING FROM OFFERING PORTABLE
TOILET RENTALS EXCLUSIVELY TO A DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS MODEL IS A UNIQUELY EXCITING AND POSSIBLY DAUNTING PROPOSITION. ADDING ONE OR MORE NEW PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BUILDER. IT ENCOURAGES THEM TO DEPEND ON YOUR COMPANY TO MEET MORE OF THEIR BUSINESS NEEDS. THAT EMPOWERS THEM TO BYPASS THE TIME-CONSUMING TASK OF TAKING BIDS FROM NEW VENDORS AND AVOID THE MANY UNCERTAINTIES THAT COME ALONG WITH THAT PROCESS.

For ambitious entrepreneurs, a fuller move into events services can include renting signage, barricades, fencing, stages, lighting equipment, and even tables, chairs, linens, dishes, kitchen trailers, and much more.
MODES OF DIVERSIFICATION
There are different ways of diversifying: Vertical diversification can involve adding unfamiliar products or investing in other enterprises that have little or nothing to do with your industry. Horizontal diversification means laterally adding rental products that are closely related to your current offering(s). For example, upgraded toilet units, hand sanitizing units,
or other products or services that will appeal to the market you already serve. This might include adding upgraded toilet units.
Either of the above-described form of diversification can grow a business and increase profit margins. But, it can also be expected to present some potential challenges, like consuming more resources than intended. So, do your research to ensure that the rental product you consider adding offers a strong value to the market you choose to target.
BENEFITS AND RISKS OF ADDING NEW RENTAL PRODUCT LINES
Adding revenue streams can help offset seasonal fluctuations in demand and strengthen the business model, making it more sustainable. Of course, like
any growth strategy, it also presents potential issues to be weighed before investing in new inventory or service structures. Some key benefits and risks of diversification include: Benefits of Diversification
4 Stabilized Income: When one income source is impacted by seasonal slow-downs, added revenue streams can help cover operating expenses and maintain cashflow.
4 Funded Growth: Growing a business can deplete operating funds. Adding income streams can help support the business while undertaking other strategies for growth.
4 Gained Synergies: Adding product or service lines that are related to your existing ones generates synergies from familiar work types that can cut overall labor costs.
Risks in Diversification
Even adding a familiar service or product type brings some amount of potential for adverse effects that can reduce the value of the added income source.
4 Financial Risks: A new product or service that costs too much in resources can undermine the viability of the business, and can weaken it financially.
4 Operational Stressors: Added workloads to manage a new product line are inevitably timeconsuming, may be confusing to perform and account for accurately.
4 Quality Issues: A common concern during any growth initiative is that it redirects human resources, causing regular service for core income production to be neglected.
...implement a performance tracking system to monitor the financial performance of the new line to ensure that it is profitable. Run data reports to measure the Cost of Goods Sold for every product line.
4 Brand Integrity Concerns: Brand identity can be diminished by split messaging to promote different products and customers may be unclear on what the business does.
First, select a new rental product or service that fits appropriately with your existing lines of business. Evaluate it carefully from all sides, from acquisition cost to maintenance needs, to storage issues, and so on. When adding a new product or service, implement a performance tracking system to monitor the financial performance of the new line to ensure that it is profitable. Run data reports to measure the Cost of Goods Sold for every product line. Establish limits on how much a revenue channel can be allowed to cost the company.
BUSINESS CORNER
If you discover that a questionable amount of resources are being funneled into operations for the new product or service, promptly analyze the situation and intervene as necessary to modify strategies and alternatives.
Your findings may lead only to minor adjustments in strategies or to pivoting to entirely new plans, to reconcile goals and actual impacts of integrating new products or services into budgets and routines.
BEFORE YOU START A NEW PRODUCT OR SERVICE LINE
Do your research to ensure that the product or service you want to add to your business model is the best possible fit with your team and your budget for the growth initiative. Include rigorous market research,
planning, and product testing in your due diligence work. Above all, shore up your core revenue channel, as needed, to maintain quality during the introduction of your new line.
The Spartan Defender

The NEW Spartan Defender is a complete all-in-one skid-mounted system. Effective jetting coupled with a powerful vacuum pump puts everything you need to service and clean lines in one compact footprint.
