Which excavator is best for trenching?

The 1.7T is our most popular trenching machine for standard residential work. For hard clay or deep trenches, step up to the 2T for better production.

Do you supply a narrow trenching bucket?

Our machines come with standard buckets. For very narrow trenches, ask the site assistant about current attachment options.

How do I compact the trench backfill?

We hire a plate compactor ($100/day) — efficient for trench backfill compaction. Often hired alongside the excavator.
