The RT1200 can trench up to 84 inches deep and 18 inches wide, yet use attachments common to the previously-largest Astec ride-on trencher.
Powered by a 121-horsepower, Tier-3 Cummins B4.5 turbocharged engine, the new RT1200 can trench up to 84 inches deep and from 7 to 18 inches wide, but still use attachments common to the previously-largest Astec Underground ride-on trencher model, the RT1160. The RT1200, introduced at the ICUEE trade show, is able to use a combination of such attachments as trenchers, vibratory plows, backfill blades, backhoes, cable reels and rock saws. The availability of four-wheel, crab and coordinated steering allows productivity in various worksite conditions. Rubber tracks and a tilt frame are optional.
The new MT9 micro-trencher attachment from Ditch Witch, is designed, says the company, “to improve productivity and to reduce the cost-per-foot on small fiber job sites.”
The RTX250 walk-behind trencher digs to 48 inches at a width of 8 inches.
Astec officially entered the concrete business in December 2008 with formation of its Concrete Products Group around modular applications of its twin-shaft mixer, a plant capable of producing low-slump and conventional concrete in a continuous process.
Adapted from Astec Underground's horizontal directional drills, a dual rack-and-pinion design drives the new EarthPro Geothermal 4550 drill rig.
