Benefits of using a trencher
Track Trenchers vs. Excavators
Cost effective
- One trencher can replace several excavators.
- Less labour intensive resulting in less manpower.
- Reduced fuel costs with the effeciency and speed.
Time effective
- Increased productivity due to one trencher completing work faster than several excavators.
- Quicker process as a trencher can achieve multiple steps in one pass.
Less equipment
- One trencher can replace several excavators.
Safety
- Wireless remote control allows the operator full operational functionality remotely.
- Risk associated with the unstable, rocky or weak ground near the trench walls is reduced with a trencher that produces a more stable wall.
Backfill and padding
- The excavated material can often be used for backfill.
- Less padding is required due to vertical trench walls as opposed to the V shape walls an excavator produces.
- Reduced materials means less costs for materials and transport.
