New Supertrencher+ 760 - Press Release

Involved in sportsturf drainage and looking to increase production?

Shelton has the answer with the launch of the new Supertrencher+ 760.

Following the introduction of the Supertrencher+ 625, Shelton has delivered another first with the Supertrencher+ 760. This class leading wheel trencher incorporates all the features that were incorporated in the award winning 625 machine with extra capacity to dig to 760mm deep and 155mm wide.

"The new features have been enthusiastically received by our customers" said Mick Claxton General Manager of Shelton, "They especially like the way the conveyor can be folded alongside the machine for transport and the ease that the cutters can be changed."

This gives easy access to the massive soil exit port should this be necessary. The design also enables the conveyor to lay alongside the machine for transportation purposes thus reducing the likelihood of accidents that often happen when moving from site to site.

The attachment of the sixteen tungsten-carbide tipped cutters to the digging wheel has been simplified and the digging forces are now transferred to the digging wheel whereas formerly they were absorbed by the holding bolts.

The 15mm thick digging wheel is fitted with turbo bars as standard. This feature rapidly clears the enclosed hood of fine dust particles when digging in dry hard conditions.

The Shelton policy of using stainless steel widely in the construction of its trenchers continues. Stainless steel assists the flow of excavated soil through the machine and does not rust. Furthermore, when compared with the equivalent thickness of mild steel it is significantly stronger; saving weight as a result. Additionally it enhances the appearance of the new 560 machine which is painted in green and yellow.

Changing the cutters is made much easier by the speedy removal of a panel at the rear of the machine. This enables the operator to undertake this work in the standing position.
