Excavation truck wrap ideas: 6 designs for excavation crews

A dig takes days, and the whole street watches. Your pickup and your trailer sit at the site the whole time. That makes them the sign for the next job on the block.

This guide shows 6 ideas made with our free generator for excavation and site work crews. It adds layout rules and what each layout costs at shops that publish prices. To try them with your own name, open the free pickup wrap design tool.

6 excavation truck wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. Every company is fictional. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and phone come out spelled right.

1. Color block pickup in black and yellow

Color block excavation company pickup truck wrap concept for Ironside Excavating, a fictional company, black and yellow bands on a white truck

Black and yellow read like heavy equipment. Put "excavation and site work" under the name so a builder knows your job.

2. Two-tone pickup that hides the mud

Two-tone excavation pickup truck wrap concept for Red Clay Site Works, a fictional company, brown lower half on a white truck

A dark lower half hides mud and dust. Keep the name and phone above the splash line.

3. Full color equipment trailer

Full color excavation equipment trailer wrap concept for Ironside Excavating, a fictional company, black trailer with yellow accent

The trailer can sit in view longer than the truck. A full wrap with a yellow phone turns it into a billboard at every site.

4. Minimal pickup for a one-truck outfit

Minimal lettering excavation pickup truck wrap concept for Bluestone Dirt Work, a fictional company, white truck with dark lettering and orange accent

Name, phone, USDOT number, and website on the doors and tailgate. It is the lowest cost layout.

5. Stripe trailer with the services

Stripe style excavation trailer wrap concept for Red Clay Site Works, a fictional company, white trailer with brown lettering and orange stripe

List three services in large type: grading, trenching, and septic installs. Builders read the trailer at the light.

6. Swoosh pickup for land clearing

Swoosh style land clearing pickup truck wrap concept for Timberline Land Clearing, a fictional company, white truck with green and amber swoosh

Land clearing and lot prep jobs come from rural roads. A swoosh in green and amber stands out against trees and dirt.

Layout rules for an excavation truck

Name the jobs. Grading, trenching, site prep, demolition, and septic or utility work. Pick the three you want more of.
Plan for mud. A dark lower half or a dark band hides the mess. Keep white text above the splash line.
Leave room for the USDOT number. A heavy truck that hauls equipment may need one. The previews use placeholders.
Letter the trailer. Repeat the name and phone on both sides and the back.

What each layout costs

Chicago Fleet Wraps lists these pickup prices: a full wrap from $3,200, a partial from $1,500, and lettering from $600 (Chicago Fleet Wraps commercial pricing).

The ideas above map to these tiers. Idea 4 is lettering, ideas 1, 2, 5, and 6 sit between lettering and a full wrap, and idea 3 is a full trailer wrap. None of the sources we read publish a price for a dump truck, an open equipment trailer, or an excavator, so ask a local shop to quote those. Read pickup truck wrap cost, truck lettering cost, and trailer wrap cost.

Colors that read from the street

Pick one dark color and one bright accent. Navy, charcoal, or deep green with orange, yellow, or lime reads from across a street.
Put the phone in white on a dark band, or in dark letters on white. Contrast matters more than size.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone, a driver can.
