The Kwik-Trench is an easy-to-use mini-trencher that delivers speed like no other, making it a durable and reliable choice for rental stores, contractors, golf course superintendents and anyone else who needs to do shallow trenching or tree root cutting.
The machine handles just about anything, from asphalt (50mm) to road fill, compacted clay to roots 250mm in diameter. When trenching, the high speed rotation reduces digging and backfill time by cutting clean narrow trenches to depths of a maximum of 200mm to 300mm, depositing soil on one side. It’s available in two 1m-tall models: the KT200B is just 0.8m by 1.5m, and the KT2400B is 0.95m by 1.8m.
With its compact size and push-forward operation, operators can maneuver the Kwik-Trench into areas full-size trenchers simply can’t reach. It’s ideal for shallow installations of sprinkler systems, low-voltage wiring, plumbing and drainage lines, as well as projects like root pruning, silt fencing and landscape edging.
