When it comes to sewer inspections, time, reliability, and precision are critical. For municipalities and contractors alike, a pre-built sewer camera truck offers a turnkey solution for faster, more impactful teams in the field. 

These vehicles come purpose-built for multi-sensor sewer inspections, pipeline rehabilitation, and assessment tasks, saving you valuable time on planning, coordination, and integration. 

Whether you’re addressing aging infrastructure, conducting proactive maintenance, responding to urgent repairs, or uncovering hidden issues, a pre-built truck can help your crew tackle their ever-growing checklists safely and efficiently. Read on to learn more. 

What Is A Pre-Built Sewer Camera Truck?

A pre-built sewer camera truck is a vehicle available “off the shelf” that is designed for a specific inspection or rehabilitation purpose. At CUES, we offer a variety of specialty trucks to help municipalities and contractors achieve mission-critical objectives. Examples: 

• Mainline & Lateral Inspection Vehicles - Along with mainline inspection capabilities, these vehicles are commonly used to also locate cross bores in laterals, where a gas, electric, fiber, or water line was installed through an existing sewer pipe during trenchless boring. 
• Mainline Only Inspection Vehicles - Municipalities and contractors rely on these for sanitary and storm water pipeline inspection, condition assessment, and rehabilitation. 
• TV/Grout Inspection Vehicles - Grout trucks support air testing, pressure testing, and chemical grouting with integrated packers. These are ideal for joint testing and sealing of mainline and lateral joints, manholes, junction boxes, large diameter pipes, or any other low pressure waterproofing application.
• TV/Cutter Inspection Vehicles - We frequently see these used in sanitary and storm water pipeline inspection, condition assessment, and rehabilitation while withstanding severe conditions. The cutter system addresses root intrusion, protruding taps, deposits, and other defects prior to inspection or rehabilitation.
• Transit Cargo Van - Teams deploy our vans as flexible options for inspections, assessments, and rehabilitation across mainlines and laterals. 

All CUES pre-builts follow standard layouts such as rear equipment rooms, climate-controlled operator areas, and proven cable reel integration. Most trucks can be further customized to your exact needs, offering a full range of flexibility and mission-oriented designs. 

Why Buy A Pre-Built Sewer Camera Truck?

Pre-built sewer camera trucks offer a smart, streamlined solution for municipalities and contractors looking to maximize uptime, safety, and performance. Here’s a closer look at why they’re a preferred choice for sewer inspection and rehabilitation teams:

1. Speed of Delivery

Time is money, especially when your team is on a deadline or responding to urgent infrastructure issues. Pre-built sewer camera trucks are available for immediate or near-term delivery, often within just a few days or a few months. 

That’s significantly faster than building a truck from the ground up, which can take several months of planning, design, and integration. With a pre-built truck, your crew can get to work quickly, minimizing delays and maximizing your return on investment.

2. Specialty Design

These CCTV trucks are purpose-built for complex sewer inspection tasks. That means every detail—from camera placement to cable routing to onboard controls—is engineered with real-world field use in mind. 

Vehicles are designed with ergonomics, operator safety, and equipment longevity in mind, allowing for more efficient inspections with fewer breakdowns or worker strain. Many also include climate-controlled operator areas and optimized interior layouts to reduce fatigue and increase productivity.

3. Standardization and Reliability

CUES pre-built trucks are assembled with standardized layouts and proven technologies, giving you a reliable platform that’s been tested across a wide range of environments and use cases. 

Standardization also simplifies training so new operators can easily transition between vehicles with minimal onboarding. Each truck is balanced for optimal road performance and loaded with high-quality components that reduce the risk of downtime and maintenance headaches.

4. Customization Options

Even with a pre-built base, CUES offers a variety of customization options to tailor your truck to your team’s specific needs, whether that’s adding specialized tools, integrating preferred software systems, or accommodating unique jobsite requirements. 

You get the best of both worlds: the speed of a pre-built unit and the adaptability of a custom solution.

5. Warranty & Long-Term Support

All CUES-manufactured components come with a full one-year warranty, and any third-party equipment is covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty. 

In addition, the CUES team provides comprehensive support—including assistance with warranty claims, troubleshooting, and equipment training. You’re not just buying a truck—you’re gaining a long-term partner who’s committed to your success in the field.
