Rockwheel Trench Cutters

Rockwheel Trench Cutters

Single-drum Trenching Pro


The Rockwheel single‐drum trench cutters are most often utilized when the narrowest cut is required. With a single drum 26"-27" drum, trenches of that width get cut with ease. 

These trench cutters have the same power as their twin drum counterparts but with all the power concentrated on a single drum. We call this power density, and the high power density of the TC-series equals high productivity. 

The TC‐series features a heavy duty stabilizing wheel with teeth that bite into the ground to secure the cutter and minimize torsional stress on the excavator arm.
