T955III Pipeline Trencher

To cut through the most difficult rock trenching conditions around, Vermeer offers the T955 Commander® 3 trencher. Equipped with a Caterpillar C13 ACERT Tier 3 turbocharged diesel engine, the T955III boasts 415 hp (310 kW). Due to the high-torque rise engine, when you encounter tough trench digging conditions, the engine speed drops, increasing the torque for more power to pull through. With a rugged D6 track chain and a sectionalized trencher boom allowing customized trench depths, the T955III also brings heavy equipment strength and versatility to your construction site.
