One trencher, two choices
Conventional trenchers have the cutting head operating behind the self-propelled tracked vehicle.
Mastenbroek’s conventional rock trenchers offer two choices of cutting head: centrally mounted or, on some models, offset, allowing you to trench closer to buildings or along highways.
For over two decades, Mastenbroek has designed and built rock trenchers that answer our global customers’ specific demands. We are unique in offering two distinct ranges: conventional rock trenchers and reciprocating undercut trenchers HRT Series.
Mastenbroek rock trenchers provide the power, precision and productivity our customers rely on, no matter how tough the climate or ground conditions.
Engineered Solutions
At Mastenbroek we are world renowned for our expertise in the design and manufacture of self propelled trenchers and specialist attachments, and we apply the same engineering knowledge to the one-off bespoke machines we build for customers.
Engineered Solutions
Powerful, precise trenching
- Our heavy-duty undercarriage is designed to transmit the powerful digging forces and traction required for the cutting picks to penetrate the rock.
- Laser machine control allows on grade and on line trenching for gravity flow sewerage pipes or specialised drainage
- Oscillating tracks incorporated on our larger trenchers improves stability and allows trenching cross country on uneven ground.
- Steerable undercarriage, standard on our smaller trenchers, offers improved curved trenching.
- Optional side tilt, or track lift, keeps the trenching head vertical on cross slopes or when straddling raised pedestrian walkways. Both systems are self levelling.
Productivity and versatility
- Mastenbroek load control matches forward speed to rock strength, maximising productivity while minimising fuel consumption and component wear
- Our generously sized, ROPS certified, ergonomically designed cabin ensures day-long operator comfort and productivity
- Excavated material can be discharged either via a cross-mounted conveyor to left or right, or into trucks for removal offsite via a front-mounted swing conveyor
- Hydraulically lifting scraper facilitates starting through the surface and ensures a clean trench. It also serves as a mounting point for various cable/pipe installation attachments
- An optional offset trenching head is controlled hydraulically and stepless adjustable to both left and right, enabling work on both sides of highways and adjacent to buildings
- A range of engineered solutions is available to maximise productivity and operator safety
- Our SyncroTrench option allows you to simultaneously trench and install a pipe or cable within a bedding surround to on grade and on line precision, while keeping the operator safely at ground level
