Ring-O-Matic was founded in 1960 as a general machining and manufacturing company.

Ring-O-Matic introduced its largest product line, industrial Vacuum Excavation machines and Vac Only machines in 1996. These machines are widely used by contractors for general construction site cleanup and for potholing (hydro excavation digging) to locate underground utilities. Precision utility location is an important part of the horizontal directional drilling process. Ring-O-Matic’s patented Cyclo-Jet Potholing Excavator is the fastest and cleanest method to locate underground utilities. Ring-O-Matic offers a wide variety of vacuum excavation equipment with collection tank sizes from 150 to 3000 gallons with CAT diesel engine options up to 83 horsepower. Ring-O-Matic’s product line has a strong reputation for reliability and easy-of-use.
