Replacing the RT560 at 51 horsepower, the RT600 ride-on trencher provides 65 horsepower with its 3.3-liter Tier 4-I Cummins diesel.
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.
The latest addition to the Astec HDD family, the EarthPro DD-4045 combines 40,000 pounds of thrust/pullback with 4,500 pounds-per-foot of rotary torque.
Adapted from Astec Underground's horizontal directional drills, a dual rack-and-pinion design drives the new EarthPro Geothermal 4550 drill rig.
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.
