T1055III Pipeline Trencher Features & Benefits

Maximum ground penetration and low chain wear

Perform rock excavation effectively with minimal chain wear due to its low-speed, high-torque, splined headshaft motor.

Advanced technology for improved machine efficiency

SmartTEC performance monitoring assists operators with adjustments to machine controls to help improve efficiency and tracks the operational performance of the machine on a consistent platform across all machine models.

Cut a deeper trench with a sectionalized boom

Complimentary to the sectionalized booms, the crumber can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of digging depths.

Elevated operator visibility and comfort

The elevating cab allows optimal visibility and added comfort with the air ride seat.

The sealed cab has self-contained heating and air conditioning with sound attenuating foam.

It is also a rollover protective module (ROPM) and provides falling object protection (FOPS).
