Shelton Supetrencher Range

Our four award winning trenchers are ideal for installing land drainage pipes and underground services on sportsfields and other turfed areas where mimimum surface damage is demanded.

Main Features

 

Depth Control

Hydraulically operated with laser grinding capability.

Construction

Extensive use of stainless steel for its non-rusting properties, greater strength and enhanced soli flow.

Cutters

Hard wearing tungsten carbide tipped cutters. Tungsten carbide tipped 'bullets' for extra hard conditions.

The Shelton business launched the first Supertrencher in 1983; it was the generic name we gave to our wheeled trenchers designed primarily for sportsturf drainage.

All of our Supertrenchers are pto driven and fit easily onto the tractor’s 3-point linkage.

Trench width and depth are adjustable with automatic laser grading capability. Optional extras include pipe-laying chutes in a range of sizes, and mini gravel hoppers for simultaneous placing of backfill materials.

Constructed mainly from stainless steel, the trenchers come in four models (shown above).

Excavated soil is carried away on a continuos chevron conveyor. Land drainage pipes fit neatly into the narrow trenches cut accurately by the Supertrencher's high speed cutting wheel.

New Features

The Supertrencher + models offer several new features, they have two gearboxes enabling the digging wheel to be driven at speed for dry hard conditions, or more slowly for work in soils with high moisture content. (625 & 760 only). The digging wheel is centrally positioned; i.e. in line with the centre of the tractor.

Twin hydraulic cylinders, working in tandem, control the digging depth. The excavated soil is thrown into a large aperture at the front of the machine, and then elevated via two conveyors into a trailer or dumper running alongside. (One conveyor only on 560)

Another unique feature is the mounting of the newly designed conveyor which is hinged in such a manner it can be turned through 900 to lay alongside the body of the machine for transport purposes. Moving the conveyor in this way opens up a massive inspection port should the need arise to look inside the housing.In the working position the tractor driver can adjust the working height of the conveyor hydraulically.

At the rear of the new trencher an inspection port allows easy access to the tungsten carbide cutters enabling them to be changed by the operator in the standing position!

Furthermore, we have simplified the attachment of the cutters substantially reducing the time to change them.

We are continuing with the widespread use of stainless steel in the manufacture of the new machines for weight for weight it is stronger than mild steel, it enhances soil flow, and it does not rust. We have used many other speciality steels in the machines with the aim of ensuring a long, trouble free life.
