PEDESTRIAN TRENCHERS PEDESTRIAN TRENCHERS FEATURING THE RTX250 / RTX150 / RTX100 / RT60 / TLR30 / TOOLING
Proven solutions for your trenching needs. Trusted by rental outlet owners, electricians, contractors and landscapers, the Vermeer lineup of pedestrian trenchers offers a proven solution to operators. Productive, compact units that can navigate both tight spaces and varied terrain. Designed with the same customer-minded focus that has made Vermeer the industry leader for handling tasks of all scale, the pedestrian trencher lineup offers solutions in a variety of sizes and configurations. And, it s all backed with a dealer network ready to go the extra mile to provide service and parts support to customers. 2 v e r m e e r. c o m
Customer-minded design on display. With a focus on ease-of-operation and jobsite maneuverability, the RTX250 offers both contractors and do-it-yourselfers a productive and convenient to maintain trencher that gets the job done right. Along with the exclusive and intuitive VZ steer system, the RTX250 features a slender profile which allows the unit to move through narrow yard gates. With a digging depth capacity of 48 (121.9 cm) and a maximum digging width of 8 (20.3 cm), operators can install electrical and fiber-optic cable at the depths designated by utilities. A 27 hp (20.1 kw) electronic fuel-injected (EFI) engine delivers exceptional power to the digging chain, enhancing productivity. 1: Hug the terrain. Even when facing varied terrain and unfavorable ground conditions, the RTX250 s high-mount track design offers outstanding traction and minimizes ground disturbance. 2: Minimize service time and tools. You know serviceability isn t an option. The engine cover design offers virtually "no-tool" access to all daily and weekly service points, making for quick service turnaround. 4 v e r m e e r. c o m
1 2 3 3: Slender profile design. A 35.5 (90.2 cm) width makes the unit fit through tight areas and narrow gates. Above: Operators, start your engine. The 27-hp (20.1 kw) Kohler electronic fuel-injected (EFI) gasoline engine offers improved fuel economy reducing greenhouse gas by an average of 25% - as compared to conventional carbureted engines. And, best of all, makes choke cables obsolete. Simply put, it s time to start your trencher like you would your car.
Steer easy on tracks or tires. Versatile might be the best word to describe the RTX100 and RTX150 hydrostatic trenchers from Vermeer. Both models can handle a variety of jobsites and conditions when equipped with interchangeable tracks and tires. But the advantages don t stop there. The RTX150 measures in at a slim 35" (88.9 cm) and can fit through the close-fitting residential gates and landscaped areas in which operators work. It might be slim, but it s fit, too. Powered by a 20-hp (14.9 kw) Kohler gas engine, the RTX150 offers productive digging performance. The RTX150 is equipped with a heavy-duty hydraulic oil cooler and reservoir to manage system temperature increasing machine performance and reliability. Fortified with hydraulic pumps and motors to divert power to both digging chain and ground drive, both controllability and productivity of the machine is maximized. 1: VZ Steering. Steering is intuitive with the VZ steer system (standard on both RTX100 and RTX150). Instead of additional levers and steerable wheels, operators can turn the machine using only the handlebars. These bars also provide additional leverage when operating in difficult terrain. 2: Master of your terrain. Attain maximum performance and productivity despite varying surface conditions with interchangeable tracks and tires. 6 v e r m e e r. c o m
1 2 3 3: Leave it like you found it. Both models feature an optional backfill blade to aid jobsite restoration. Return ground to its original smoothness. Above: Turns made easier. Zero turn engine power allows the RTX100 to counterrotate, making it easy to maneuver around obstacles and into tight jobsites.
Small footprint, all the right answers. Specifically designed to answer the needs of both renters and professionals, the RT60 mini trencher provides solutions for shallow trench installations. An adjustable trench depth lever helps operators reach depths of 4" (10.2 cm), 8" (20.3 cm) and 12" (30.5 cm), giving operators the versatility required. A standard crumber shoe reduces the need to clean out trenches by hand, enhancing productivity on the jobsite. Transport your walk-behind trencher with the TLR30 trailer from Vermeer. The tilt bed design and low loading height of 12" (30.5 cm) allows operators to unload their units without using cumbersome ramps. Non-skid coating on the trailer bed provides longevity and traction no matter the weather. Choose from two options light-duty and heavy-duty depending on your needs. 1: Start your engines. The RT60 features a 5.5 hp (4.1 kw) Honda engine. 2: Go the depth and the distance. The patented Vermeer ground-drive system helps operators create straight, uniform trenches while reducing the labor typically associated with operating small, non-propelled trenchers. 8 v e r m e e r. c o m
1 2 3 3: Operate safely. An operator-presence system disengages the trencher drive if the operator releases the controls. A trenching cleat restricts rearward machine motion protecting the operator if the digging chain catches on a root or a rock. Above: Moving? No problem. Equipped with four lift handles for loading and unloading ease, operators can go from job to job without struggling to load the trencher.
Quality equipment and the tooling to match. As the leader in the underground installation industry, the Vermeer quality pledge extends to both its equipment and its tooling as we try to offer customers the very best in advanced digging chain and cutting technology. What Are You Made Of? Featuring solid, precision-ground nickel/chrome alloy steel thimbles with exceptional strength and superior press fit control, Vermeer chains are carefully machined for better tolerance, surface hardness and integrity. Tighter clearances and optimal pin and brushing press fits reduce long-term pitch and elongation over the chain s lifetime. Double heattreated pins with extra-large pinheads offer superior wear resistance. Constructed from high-quality, heattreated alloy steel, Vermeer chains perform day after day in a wide range of ground conditions, ranging from loam to light rock. Precise machining and careful design help to make Vermeer chains the most productive option for your trenching operations. Welded Rotary Chain is a low-profile welded chain that performs with less kickback. Well-suited to working in frosts and rocky ground. Full Cup Chain uses a series of cup cutters on each link and is designed to perform in moderate soil conditions. Partial Cup Chain features cup cutters installed on every other link; performs in moderate soils with a high moisture content. Full Shark Chain uses bolt-on rugged cutters and is designed for use in hardpacked soils and frost, while allowing chain width adjustment. 10 v e r m e e r. c o m
Tough chains deserve equally rugged cutters. Vermeer produces many standard chain/cutter combinations for the highly variable conditions experienced in the field. Facing unique ground conditions? The Vermeer tooling team can build custom chains engineered to your particular jobsite. Contact your local dealer for details. Shark Combo Chain offers simultaneous trenching and cleaning in a variety of soil conditions, including loam, sandy clay and hard clay. The low-profile Welded Shark Chain performs with less kickback and has no bolts to loosen with use. Features the Shark Tooth for extended longevity. Full Tiger Chain can dig in soil and medium-packed light frost. Tiger Combo Chain utilizes the Tiger Tooth in conjunction with cup cutters to handle compacted ground and sandy clay.
