EPV Appointed Smart Dig Reseller for Australia

EPV Specialty Service Centre has been appointed the Australian reseller for Smart Dig Hydro Excavators and Vacuum Loading Systems. The partnership brings together Smart Dig’s purpose-built hydro-excavation technology and EPV’s decades of specialist equipment experience, to meet the evolving needs of Australian contractors.

Equipment developed around real-world needs

As contractors face increasing demands to protect underground services and minimise site disruption while maintaining or increasing productivity, choosing the right equipment has become an important part of project planning.

This is where Smart Dig’s hydro-excavation is becoming an important consideration for suitable applications.

Smart Dig’s journey began in New Zealand through a collaboration between experienced contractors and ITSS Engineering. Combining practical operating knowledge with more than five decades of collective mechanical engineering and equipment experience, the partnership set out to refine hydro-excavation and vacuum loading technology through practical, incremental improvements. Their focus is on building reliable, cost-effective machines that address the demands of day-to-day operations.

The Australian Market

Established in Victoria in 1992, EPV has built its reputation in specialist mechanical repairs, servicing and major inspections across a range of equipment, including truck-mounted elevating work platforms, crane borers, vehicle loading cranes and carrier trucks.

Its experience spans essential industries such as electricity, gas, rail, telecommunications, fire services and vegetation management, where equipment reliability and availability are critical.

Configured for the job

Every operation has different requirements. Fleet specifications, site conditions and the nature of the work can all influence which equipment configuration is most suitable.

Smart Dig offers both production-built machines and bespoke builds, with equipment manufactured in New Zealand and assembled by EPV Specialty Service Centre in Australia.

Customisation options can include company colours and finishes, as well as specialised equipment such as jetter/flusher pumps, depending on the application and build requirements.

This flexibility allows contractors to consider equipment that aligns more closely with their operational needs, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

For contractors, the priority remains selecting the equipment best suited to the job and the operating environment. The appointment of EPV as Smart Dig’s agent in Australia gives Australian contractors access to Smart Dig’s hydro-excavation and vacuum loading equipment through a business with established experience in specialist machinery.
