Trenching is a frequently used function for excavators, no matter in the urban construction or the mine project. SANY excavators are designed to deliver maximum power, strength and fuel efficiency in all kinds of job sites. Below are some useful tips to help you get the most from the machine when it is working on a trenching job.

Firstly, you need take time for completing the setup of related configuration. It depends on where you will put your soil pile, bedding materials, and the location where you will place your pipe.

When the earth is excavated out of the trench, remember to keep the area in and around the trench clean and free of debris, to reduce the safety hazards for other people or equipment. It also helps improving working efficiency in this process, especially during loading.

Before selecting a direction, you are suggested to do a short test acceleration, for keeping the track orientation. Try to dig over front idlers, if possible. If digging over the side, keep alert to the possible decreased stability of the machine.
