Purpose-built trenching for utilities, irrigation and drainage — faster and cleaner than digging with a bucket.

Trenchers cut a clean, consistent trench far faster than an excavator when you need a long, uniform run. Walk-behind units handle shallow irrigation and cable work; ride-on and chain/wheel trenchers cut deeper, wider utility trenches at speed.

Match trench depth and width to the machine, and confirm ground conditions — rocky or frozen soil calls for a rock chain or a stronger machine. Many trenchers pair with a backfill blade to close the trench after, and some job sites will also want a plow attachment for cable installation without open trenching.
