Why Choose KEMROC Trenching Solutions?
Precise Trenching for Cost Savings
KEMROC attachments allow exact width and depth control, helping save on material and backfill expenses. Their accurate cuts reduce rework and hauling costs.
Enhanced Productivity
With a potential productivity boost of up to 4x, KEMROC attachments can help shorten project timelines and support faster project delivery.
Energy-Efficient Operations
Operating with up to 40% lower energy consumption, KEMROC products support more efficient operations without sacrificing performance.
Durability for Long-Term Use
Engineered from high-strength materials, KEMROC attachments are built for long service life, helping minimize maintenance downtime.
KEMROC attachments, such as EK Chain Cutters and KRC Bullhead Cutters, offer precise full-section trenching without side-to-side swing movement, reducing wear.
KEMROC attachments can achieve up to 4x more productivity compared with hydraulic breakers, thanks to vertical-layer excavation and easier handling of output material.
KEMROC attachments cover a wide range of trench widths, from approximately 3.15 in up to custom widths, meeting various project requirements.
The fine-grained cut material may be reused for backfilling where project specifications allow, helping reduce the need for new material.
Noise levels of 75–80 dB, including excavator noise, make KEMROC attachments suitable for urban areas. Compared with hydraulic breakers, they generate lower noise and vibration, helping reduce risk to nearby structures.
