T955III Pipeline Trencher
Cut through the most difficult rock trenching conditions around.
- To help you cut through the most difficult rock trenching conditions around, Vermeer offers the T955 trencher
- When you encounter tough trench digging conditions, the engine speed drops, increasing the torque for more power to pull through
- With a rugged D6 track chain and a sectionalized trencher boom allowing customized trench depths, the T955III also brings heavy equipment strength and versatility to your construction site
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Extra wide conveyor opening
Promote high-volume spoil removal with an extra-wide 30-in (76.2-cm) dirt conveyor opening that helps reduce jamming.
Full function remote control
Available with an optional wireless remote control that can provide full operator function remotely.
Low-speed, high-torque motor
Use the trenching machine more effectively with less wear due to its low-speed, high-torque, splined headshaft motor.
Optional warranty
Vermeer Vantage Track Extended Care Service Program offers an optional 3-year/3000-hour or 5-year/5000-hour heavy equipment warranty on the components of the closed-loop hydrostatic system.
Rotary power trencher drive motor
A rotary power trencher drive motor and splined headshaft produce a lower speed and higher torque which provide superior ground penetration and low chain wear for better production results.
Standard remote
Decrease trencher teeth inspection and replacement maintenance time through a standard remote control that can start or stop the engine, raise or lower the trencher boom and rotate the chain at a slow speed.
