Exceptional trencher efficiencies
The largest trencher to date, the HT275, has been introduced by Ditch Witch.
The largest trencher to date, the
HT275, has been introduced by
Ditch Witch, a Charles Machine
Works Company, to boost
productivity and versatility on a
broad range of trenching jobs. The
unit was designed to increase
year-over-year return on
investment (ROI) on water, sewer,
gas, power and underdrain
installations, pipeline distribution,
and other heavy-duty trenching
tasks.
The HT275 provides operators
with exceptional efficiency on
installations up to 10-feet deep
and 26-inches wide. A fully utilised
Cummins® 275hp (205kW) T4
engine provides the power to
tackle a variety of jobsite
environments and digging
conditions. And a hydrostatic
trencher-chain drive with an
infinitely variable displacement
motor allows operators to easily
match chain speeds to soil
conditions.
Modular and patent-pending
designs and purpose-built
attachments further enhance
productivity and enable
contractors to accept a broader
range of jobs than previously
feasible.
The HT275 boosts jobsite
performance with four hydraulic
quick-disconnect blocks that
reduce the time it takes to change
attachments, from days to hours.
The design allows operators to
change rear attachments in the
field without the use of heavy
lifting equipment. And, for better
performance on uneven terrains,
the machine has a patent-pending
suspension that mounts to the
centre of each track frame. This
innovative design feature provides
the unique ability to ‘float’ each
track independently, which takes
stress off the main frame.
Equipped with a power sliding cab
and featuring external cameras,
the HT275 offers industry-leading
visibility of the jobsite. Operators
also benefit from unparalleled
comfort and control due to an air-
ride suspension seat with
270-degree rotation, ergonomic
joystick controls, and dual
7-inch displays.
The trencher’s patent-pending
track frame is designed for easy
removal, which further
simplifies serviceability by
minimising time spent on
track repairs.
