Installing an irrigation system in the garden is essential to evenly supply water to flowers, plants, grass, and trees. In most cases, an underground system represents the best solution, not only for aesthetics but also to reduce labor and water resource wastage.

Companies specializing in garden irrigation excavations are always on the lookout for innovative solutions that ensure maximum efficiency during work. This is where the trencher comes into play – a specialized machine for creating trenches for laying underground utilities.

How does it work, and how do you choose the best one from the numerous options available in the market? Let’s find out in the following paragraphs.

The Trencher: Your Best Ally in Garden Irrigation Excavations

Also known as a trencher, the catenary is a machine used to create grooves in the ground for various applications, such as installing underground irrigation systems, laying pipes and/or electrical cables, and creating small channels. Its operation is based on blades or disks that, once in contact with the soil, rotate at high speed, following a precise trajectory to create the groove in the ground.

Among the main advantages of using a trencher, you can find:

  • Significant increase in productivity: With just a few passes, the trench for irrigation pipes can be created, even for large areas. Moreover, the trencher is faster than traditional excavation machines, leading to a considerable reduction in work time.
  • Reduced soil disturbance: Thanks to the chain slicer for irrigation digs, irrigation excavation can be performed with precision, minimizing the risk of damaging the lawn.
  • Customized digging: Operators can adjust the depth and width of the trencher’s work to create the desired dimensions and characteristics.

How to Choose the Best Trencher for Your Needs?

The trencher must meet specific requirements to best suit the company’s needs. Cormidi, an Italian company specialized in the design and production of motorized dumpers and mini dumpers, has developed highly innovative trenchers, focusing on efficiency and operator safety. Here are the essential features of Cormidi trenchers:

#1 Compact size

Not all irrigation installations take place in large gardens. It is crucial for the motorized dumper on which the trencher is mounted to be compact. This way, it can be easily maneuvered even in small gardens and reach challenging corners. Cormidi’s professional tracked motorized dumpers are the perfect solution for smooth operation on rocky, rough, or rugged terrain.

The professional crawler loaders by Cormidi also represent the perfect solution for agile movement on rocky, rugged, and/or difficult terrains.

#2 Safety and ergonomics

Operator safety comes first. Cormidi has developed wheelbarrow with a platform for the operator, meeting the strictest ergonomic regulations. Positioned behind the machine, the operator enjoys a complete view of the surrounding environment, preventing risks and hazards. Every button is within reach, thanks to a comprehensive dashboard placed in front of the operator. Furthermore, a special damping system cancels out shocks and vibrations typical of irregular terrains, allowing the operator to work safely and calmly, essential aspects to reduce fatigue and optimize time.

#3 Adjustable depth

Consider the trencher’s maximum depth capacity. Cormidi motorized dumpers can be adjusted from 0 to 800 mm, with a trench width of 110 mm. This flexibility allows customizing the trench size according to the irrigation project’s specific needs.

#4 High versatility

Focusing on the machine’s versatility helps reduce costs and significantly increase productivity. The trencher can be integrated with a Cormidi Multifunction motorized dumper, allowing it to be used only when needed for irrigation excavation.

And then? The machine can be equipped with other accessories (such as a digging bucket, dozer blade, and sweeper with collection) to perform different tasks. Apart from occupying less space, this approach reduces fuel costs and allows for quick transitions between tools, thanks to the practical Quick Attack system.

#5 Maximum durability

To ensure increased durability, even in challenging work conditions, the trencher must be made of particularly robust materials. This way, the motorized dumper and its accessory will work optimally even when dealing with rocks, soil, and stones. Cormidi chose to equip its machines with a highly sturdy material, HARDOX steel. Reliable, resistant to abrasions, and characterized by impeccable structural properties, it guarantees excellent performance even years after the first use.

In Conclusion

To carry out garden irrigation excavations that prioritize operator safety and maximum efficiency for the company, it is necessary to equip oneself with the right machines. The trencher mounted on meticulously designed motorized dumpers becomes the best companion in creating trenches for laying underground utilities.
