To get the job done without surprises it’s the priority
Buying a new trencher directly from the local dealer undoubtedly has numerous advantages in terms of reliability. But is it really always the best choice?Â
Is there the possibility to obtain adequate reliability and productivity at a lower cost?
Whether you want to buy a new machine, evaluating various brands and models, or whether you are considering the purchase of a used machine, the evaluation formula to be applied is always the same: productivity + reliability – costs = optimal choice.

The production capacities of the machinery on the market depend on the technological evolution that characterizes them
The trenchers have not experienced significant technological advancements since the early 2000s. The automation of the advancement and excavation systems, was the last major innovation, relevant to production capacity.Â
A new trencher and a used trencher from early 2000s, brought back in excellent operating conditions, have very similar production capacities.
It is almost always possible, to turn back a used trencher toits optimal production condition, at an affordable cost compared to the new one
Starting with a used machine with all the relevant technological advances, and relying on our specialized technical team, we can repair or replace all critical parts for reliability and production, bringing it back to the optimal operating condition.
We work with manufacturers and their workshops using original spare parts.
We can provide stress tests services, done in construction site conditions, to highlight any otherwise invisible flaws.
Thanks to the collaboration with the manufacturers and authorized workshops, we can offer warranty packages, that protect against unexpected costs.
Used trenchers are not all the same, carefully evaluate our proposals to understand how to get the most out of your investment.
The economic value of the new collapses after purchase
The average depreciation of a new machine, after a short use, is about one third of its value.
A used machinery has depreciation thresholds in line with its real production capacities and in line with its future potential: the higher its productivity over time, the higher the value.
In a few words
- Reliability and operating conditions. It is almost always possible to restore a used trencher to operating conditions and performance similar to new.
- Technology and production. The automation of advancement and excavation systems, introduced in the early 2000s, was the last major innovation relevant to production capacity.
- Safety and reliability. To highlight any technical situation that needs to be restored, we offer stress test services done in construction site conditions.
- Warranties. For each proposed project and used trencher, we can package a tailor-made package of warranties that meets the security needs of customers.
- The depreciation of new machinery is about one third of its original price. The value of a used machinery, kept in good condition, is better held.
- The result of the job is identical. There is no way to tell if a trench has been dug with a new or a used trencher. A trench is a trench.
- Consider buying a used trencher used to get the job done and a better profit.
Evaluation formula for the purchase of a machine
PRODUCTIVITY + RELIABILITY - COSTS = OPTIMAL CHOICE
