Trenching is a strenuous but indispensible job. It is
required for laying pipes and cables both for irrigation and construction
purposes. The only way this job can be made easy is by using the right kind of
trencher. A chain trencher is best as it can excavate any kind of surface.
There are too many renowned manufacturers of the best
trenchers in Australia. In business for decades, their commitment to the
highest standard of products and their performance has made it a trusted name
in the field of earthmoving and construction. Trenching tools are recognized as
top quality in the industry. One of such manufacturers is Digga Europe, which
specializes in the designing and manufacturing of Machinery Attachments,
advanced Planetary Gearboxes and Augers.
Since they are produced in-house, it is
possible to ensure full control from raw material to the finished product. This
enables the manufacturers to offer the best quality equipment at the best
prices. This helps in delivering fast and efficient service.
2 Major Types of Trenchers are:
- Hydrive Trenchers: It has a unique drive system which ensures more horse power and greater efficiency. This trencher is meant for heavy applications. It is fitted with a spring loaded crumber ensuring finest crumbling of the spoil, and twin spoil augers removing the fine spoils to both sides of the trench and leaving the cleanest base for laying of pipes etc. The high power motor and gearbox assure the highest performance and reliability. The augers can be removed for close-up trenching near walls, fences, etc, and the frame can be side shifted digging close to permanent structures. The cutting width of the Hydrive Trenchers ranges from 100 to 300 mm and cutting depth in a range of 900--1500mm. They are ideal for pipe laying in irrigation, construction, roadways, communications and power projects. Hydrive is suitable for excavators up to 3.5 tonne, skid steer loaders and mini machines. Hydrive XD is meant for excavators between 3.5 – 8 tonne, tele handlers and backhoes.
- Bigfoot Trenchers: These are compact yet powerful. Fitted with the high quality planetary drive and Motor, its advanced design enables consistent digging, efficient removal of finely crumbled spoil for re-compaction back into the trench, providing a cleaner base. The adjustable control foot ensures trenching at a preset depth.
All trenchers usually covered by the manufacturers’ warranties.
Another thing that must be mentioned is about the trenching chains.
There are 3 options for different ground conditions – earthy, rocky, concrete,
asphalt and frozen ground.
- Earth – This type of trencher chain is meant for soft, clean ground without floaters or tree roots.
- Combo – This chain is suitable for most applications; hard soil, roots, soft shale and rocky ground.
- Diggatac – These chains cater from soft grounds to hard shale but are the best for rocky hard shale, asphalt and frozen ground. This range has extended tooth life and reduced vibration in tough conditions.
