Introduction: Solving a Common Industry Problem

Across Australia’s hydro excavation, civil, and industrial cleaning sectors, one request comes up time and time again:

“Do you have a reliable soap dispensing system?”

At Fox Global, we’ve heard it from:

  • Hydro excavation contractors
  • Vacuum truck operators
  • Civil and utility crews
  • Industrial cleaning teams

And the reason is simple—cleaning equipment, maintaining visibility, and managing buildup in harsh environments is not optional.

It’s essential.

That’s why Fox Global now offers a complete Foam Cannon Kit, designed to deliver a simple, effective, and highly adaptable soap application system for hydro excavation and beyond.


Introducing the Fox Global Foam Cannon Kit (SKU: FG147 14.7029)

The Fox Global Foam Cannon Kit is a compact, high-performance solution designed for:

  • Hydro excavation equipment cleaning
  • Vehicle and machinery washdown
  • Industrial surface cleaning
  • Workshop and maintenance operations

What’s Included:

  • ST300 Spray Gun
  • Foam Cannon (1L bottle)
  • Quick Release Fittings
  • Pre-installed foam pad + nozzle

This is a complete, ready-to-use system—no complicated setup required.


Why Foam Application Matters in Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation environments are tough:

  • Mud, clay, and slurry buildup
  • Chemical residues
  • Dust and debris
  • Constant exposure to harsh conditions

Traditional cleaning methods often rely on:

  • Straight water pressure
  • Manual scrubbing
  • Inconsistent soap application

This leads to:

  • Poor cleaning results
  • Increased labour
  • Wasted water and chemicals
  • Equipment wear over time

The Advantage of a Foam Cannon System

A foam cannon changes the game completely.

Instead of spraying liquid soap inconsistently, the system:

  • Mixes soap with water and air
  • Produces thick, clinging foam
  • Ensures even coverage across surfaces

The Result:

✔ Better cleaning performance
✔ Reduced chemical usage
✔ Faster washdown times
✔ Improved operator efficiency


ST300 Spray Gun: Built for Industrial Use

At the heart of the kit is the ST300 Spray Gun—a professional-grade pressure washing gun designed for demanding environments.

Key Features:

  • Live Swivel Connection
    Prevents hose twisting and improves handling
  • Easy-Pull Trigger
    Reduces operator fatigue during extended use
  • Stainless Steel Quick Connects
    Corrosion-resistant and built for longevity

Foam Cannon: Precision Foam Control

The included foam cannon is engineered for versatility and control.

Features Include:

1. 1L Quick Disconnect Bottle

  • Fast refill and changeover
  • Ideal for mobile operations

2. Adjustable Fan Blades

  • Control spray pattern
  • Wide coverage or targeted application

3. Adjustable Foam Thickness

  • Via 1/4″ x 9″ feeder tube
  • Fine-tune foam density depending on application

4. Two-Stage Nozzle (Patented)

  • Switch between vertical and horizontal spray
  • Maximum flexibility in tight or awkward spaces

Quick Release Fittings: Speed & Efficiency

Time matters on site.

The quick release fittings allow operators to:

  • Instantly connect or disconnect
  • Switch between tools
  • Minimise downtime

This is especially valuable in hydro excavation, where efficiency directly impacts productivity.

Hydro excavation setups often involve:

  • Confined areas
  • Truck-mounted systems
  • Limited access points

The compact design of the Foam Cannon Kit makes it ideal for:

  • Tight installations
  • Onboard storage

  • Always use liquid concentrate soaps
  • Avoid thick or incompatible detergents

Adjust Foam Settings

  • Fine-tune feeder tube for desired thickness
  • Match foam to cleaning task
