All over the world, the most successful companies that lay underground services, use trencher technology
The use of trenchers has been widespread for many years. However in some countries this technology is not yet used.
The second-hand market now allows many more companies, in many more countries, the use of this convenient and effective technology for the installation of subservices.
It is still worth, using traditional technologies and tools to save?
Unless your company works in a country where time is worthless, to complete your projects with quality and quick and effective timing you need this technology.
When it comes to excavating trenches for laying water, gas, optical fiber, electricity, the trencher technology always guarantees always superior results compared to traditional methods.
What are the advantages of Trenchers?
Productivity: If it is necessary to carry out excavations for the laying of underground services, it must be considered that the yield of a trencher is 3 times higher than an excavator. In other words, you need 3 excavators to do the work of a trencher.
Precision and tidiness: If we also consider the work done by a trencher, it is easy to see the quality in terms of precision and efficiency of the excavation produced. A Trencher produces a trench of the required size in one pass, quickly and with extreme precision.
Recovery of waste material: while it works, a trencher accumulates excavated material on the sides of the trench which can be reused for backfilling. The use of a trencher also simplifies loading and disposal of excess material.
Cost reduction: If a trencher is used on the construction site, the excavation operations will require fewer personnel, fewer machines, less transport and less fuel.
Further details on the accessories available to the projects of excavation and laying of underground services
- Automation systems. For about twenty years the technology linked to the electronic control systems of the excavation represents the latest great innovation for these machines. Trenchers equipped with similar technology (such as the TEC2000 by Vermeer or the TrenchTronic by Tesmec) guarantee greater productivity. The electronic systems allow you to automatically control the speed and power of the chain (or of the rock cutter disc) depending on the terrain, optimizing excavation times.
- Automatic wagon leveling systems (TILT). This system allows you to excavate even in the presence of steep terrain, keeping the trench perfectly perpendicular.
- Translated excavation systems (OFFSET). Offset trenchers have the ability to move the trench axis from the center to the sides. This option is present in both medium-sized tracked trenchers and some rubberized trenchers. OFFSET finds greater application when the excavation must be adjacent to a wall, in a tunnel or on the roadside.
- Loading conveyor. In many medium and large sized trenchers it is possible to install a loading conveyor. This allows you to expel the excavated material in a controlled manner, and deposit it comfortably on a truck. The excavation in this case will be immediately cleaned of any debris, and the material can be reused for filling the trench, once the pipes have been laid.
- Cabins: comfort and safety. In many medium and large trenchers it is possible to have lift-up cabins, to ensure a perfect view of the excavation by the operator. In some models there is also a cabin with double station. To protect the operator's safety, there are also cabins with anti-rollover safety arches, soundproofed and air-conditioned.
- Other accessories. On the wheeled trenchers it is possible to install useful tools such as reel carrier, vibrating plows, mini loaders. Further guarantee of adaptability to each project.
In a few words
- A trencher is 3 times faster than an excavator.
- Having fewer machines on the construction site means reducing costs for fuel, personnel, transport, insurance.
- There is no need to purchase or transport material for backfilling the trench.
- The excavation is perfectly executed in all its parts along the entire length of the excavation.
- The excavation is the desired size, both in width and depth.
- There are trenchers suitable for every terrain and every project.
