INDUSTRY STANDARD PLOUGH FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS

Sets the standard in reliable cable trenching

The MD3 Plough is recognised globally as setting the standard in cable ploughing offering reliable trenching in most soils including clays and sands. Using patented technology, the plough is designed to minimise pull force requirements and provide effective trenching capability from zero to 3.3m depth and 3.0m of cover.

The flexibility of the MD3 range allows the vehicle to be optimised for the depth of burial required, ground conditions and customer operational preferences.
The XT share extension upgrade allows trenching to 3.3m for genuine 3m product cover.
