The Bulldog is our first ever trencher specifically designed for North America and here it is working in California!
As you can see from this video produced by Ditch Witch West, the small footprint, compact yet incredibly powerful trencher perfectly meets utility cable and pipeline layers’ needs.
Being just 38 feet 7 inches (10.9m) long, the Bulldog is designed to work in confined areas, and its forward discharge conveyor system retracts to give an 8 foot 2 inch (2.5m) width, making it easy to transport.
Fuelled by a US EPA Tier 4 final compliant Volvo 8-litre engine, the Bulldog offers the ideal combination of power, efficiency and emissions. Complementing the Volvo engine is a new diesel hydrostatic drive system developed by Mastenbroek to power the new heavier digging mechanism, which can achieve the six-foot trench depth required by US cable-layers.
The Bulldog also features an offset cutting head and forward swing conveyor, making it ideal for operating in cities and on highways where access is restricted and excavated material needs to be loaded onto trucks for removal offsite. A steerable undercarriage enables curved trench lines, and the track lift allows the machine to straddle raised pedestrian walkways.
Technical support, servicing and spare parts are easily accessible as we have partnered with Port Industries and Ditch Witch West, with technicians at both companies receiving full operator and engineer training.
