Side Arm
Industrial Ditchers

 

These units are primarily designed to open and clean existing ditches on paved and unpaved roads, interstate highway service, perimeter roads, service roads, airport roads, industrial complex roads, military installations, etc.

Ditching with our US DITCHER will eliminate the costly and time consuming task of loading and carrying the spoils away to the dumping site. Completely eliminates loading equipment, backhoe and motor graders, belt loaders, supporting crews and service equipment, flagmen, etc. In addition, a US DITCHER will outperform conventional ditching methods by a ratio of 10:1, i.e., 10 times faster and 20:1 on cost per cubic foot of dirt removed.
