What Cusco Fabricators, Inc. does
Cusco Fabricators, Inc. is a brand of Hi-Vac Corporation that designs and builds heavy-duty industrial vacuum trucks for hazardous and non-hazardous waste transport. The company was founded approximately 1965 (per company history) and relaunched under Hi-Vac in December 2025, returning to series production at Hi-Vac's Marietta, Ohio facility. Its core offering is split across two product lines: Industrial Code trucks, which are DOT-certified to ASME, NBBI, and US DOT & FMVSS standards for hazardous-materials hauling, and Industrial Non-Code trucks built with Code-level durability for non-hazardous waste applications. Differentiated engineering features include 360-degree damage protection using thick tubular-steel overturns and an I-beam bumper, FEA-tested structural systems, ground-level maintenance access to reduce fall risk, bolted (rather than welded) high-wear components for field change-out, and tanks built from thicker, higher-grade steel designed so the tank can outlive the chassis.
Cusco generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of new Code and Non-Code trucks, supplemented by aftermarket parts and accessories, pre-owned/demo sales, and customer training services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; sales inquiries are taken through a website Request-a-Quote form and an 800-number. Distribution is channel-led via a dealer network — the first formal regional sales, leasing, and service center was opened in December 2025 with ACE Equipment Sales & Leasing in Carrollton, Georgia, covering Georgia and the Carolinas. A new Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract was awarded for the products through 2030, opening government and municipal procurement channels. End-customer segments are organized by use case, principally DOT hazardous waste haulers and industrial cleaning operators (hydrovac, combo jetter, jetter), which the company pursues primarily at the enterprise/contractor level.
