Antraquip chain cutters are built for narrow trenching applications that require control, consistency, and minimal excavation. These attachments use mechanized cutting technology to create straight, uniform trenches without side-to-side movement.
Designed for continuous operation, chain cutters perform effectively in soft to medium-hard rock where trench width, geometry, and material removal must be tightly managed.
Recommended Carrier Range: 20-40 tons
Primary Use: Narrow trench excavation
The cutting chain runs between the drums, allowing material to be removed in a controlled, linear path. This design eliminates the need for side-to-side movement, reducing trench width and limiting excess rock removal.
The result is a clean trench with consistent geometry and reduced downstream work.
