 We invented portable trenching!

TT 500 & TT 800 Portable Trenchers

Our patented award-winning Kiwi invention is the world’s most portable and versatile trencher. The sheer convenience and impressive digging speed of a machine that you can carry with one hand can save you serious time and money. It is ideally suited for undergrounding a wide range of cable and pipe.

Powered by a high-quality Stihl powerhead, it is the professional contractor’s trencher of choice when space is tight. It digs with little turf disturbance, allowing rapid back-filling and site clean-up. Why spoil the environment with a big messy trench when 40mm wide is all you need? Long run trenches are a breeze with the optional wheel support in place.

The TT 500/800 is a dedicated trencher:             

• It cuts a neat trench 38-40mm wide. The TT500 digs up to 500mm deep and the TT 800 easily up to 670mm.

• Components are industrial grade, it handles soil with aggregate up to the size of the trench.
• Digging speed at full depth is close to a metre per minute in most soil types.
• Safety chain brake and anti-vibration features are retained.
• Wider trenches can be easily achieved using the twin trench method.
• Soil is dispersed on approx. a 70 – 30 ratio each side of the trench.
• The digging chain has self-sharpening teeth that will cut through tree roots up to approx. 30mm dia.
• When anything solid in the ground is struck, an experienced operator will feel a bounce, rise over it and continue trenching. Removal of the obstruction is then done by hand pick.
• The drive chain runs via a transfer case to the main digging chain.
• The digging bar and chain is centred for ease of balance when digging a trench.
• The digging bar sprockets have dirt ejectors to keep the digging chain running smoothly.
• The Wheel Support makes digging long trenches easy and controls the depth to an even standard.
• The trencher can be operated by hand for short runs (e.g. when trenching around curves or close to buildings) or in the Wheel Support for longer runs.
• Both “Chipper” and “Gravel”pattern digging chains are supplied. Specific use of these is covered in the manual. Other specialised chain options (e.g. hard-faced) are available on request.
• The TT 500 is a handy size, our most popular model for installing cable/fibre, irrigation lines, landscaping, agriculture and The TT 800 version digs to approx. 670mm easily and is favoured by electrical conduit installers and tree transplanters.

• The TT 500 attachment weighs just 7.7kg and the TT 800 attachment weighs 9.1kg.

To drive these units we specify powerheads from the Stihl MS 4, 5 or 6 series. These are from the Stihl Professional range, selected to deliver the required torque and power. They also have superior air filtration, which we further enhance with our custom filter kits.
