The trench equipment whether the basic unit or one with attachment is a versatile construction vehicle that contractors would love to have around the job site. This trench digging equipment can be called a jack of all trades as it can be utilized for many various purposes such as digging holes to creating trenches for drainages pipes. For areas wherein other types of machinery cannot deal with the land, like those with large tree roots or rocks, the trench equipment is able to do it, minimizing the amount of downtime once experienced with digging chores are done by hands.
The Bobcat Company offers various trenching attachments created to be used on mini skid steer loader equipments. The attachment part models such LT102 up to LT304 can dig depths starting at two feet up to four.
Mini trencher equipment
The mini trencher of today is re-designed to the concept that’s being applied to the standard trench digging equipment. As the name implies, these equipment are small, and weight lighter. Its biggest sized model weighs just under 400 pounds.
Mini trencher equipments are compact; this allows the crew to place them easily at the back of any common pick-up vehicle. They can also dig trenches with width of about a few inches and depth running to 12 inches, with the soil neatly laid on the trench side. Pipes can be covered easily and conveniently with backfill, with barely any obvious seam on the land.
Indeed, these mini trencher machineries are best for use in small or tight places, and on areas with shrubs or trees. This small trench equipment has turning radius of 2 feet or less and fits easily through yard gates. Construction tasks that normally would require a great amount of human labor can now be done by these machines at a lot less time and manpower.
