Tools for Power Trenching

Wheel Trencher

• A wheel trencher is one of the larger types of wheel trenchers and is able to work with any type of soil. A wheel trencher is able to work in these conditions due to a toothed wheel and efficiently transports dirt using a bucket system. Wheel trenchers are often used to build large projects like roads and highways.

Chain Trencher

• A chain trencher is a power trencher that resembles an enormous chainsaw. Chain trenchers are able to cut through ground that is too difficult for other large power trenches to work through. Chain trenchers cut into the ground in a deep and narrow fashion and have been known to have a smaller environmental effect than other large power trenchers.

Walk-behind Trenchers

• Walk-behind trenches are used more by homeowners than developers and are considered small power trenchers. As the name suggests, the machine digs into dirt using a circular blade while the operator guides the machine.

Ride-on Trenchers

• Ride-on trenchers offer a solution for land larger than a backyard, such as a farm. Ride-on trenchers have the power-trenching tool operating behind a vehicle. A variety of types of blades from circular blade to toothed wheel can be applied to the vehicle depending on the need.
