Carving a Way: Trenching Machines Cut the Path for Pipe
Whether chain-driven or bucket wheels, trenching machines provide powerful cutting capabilities for contractors to install pipe. These behemoths cut up to 12 ft wide or more, and as deep as 36 ft to accommodate big-inch, cross country pipelines. Trenching machines must absorb the pounding shocks day after day to maintain efficiency and uptime.
