The most advanced pipe trenching technology in the world

Building on SMD’s reputation for the continuous development of plough technology, the Variable Multipass Plough range introduces further improvements and optimisation of the well proven SMD multipass pipe plough.

These models offer enhanced variable multipass capability, allowing the operator to remotely adjust the depth during trenching.

Advances in design including jetting, fore cutters, Hi-Tow points and the active share track, making the VMP range the most advanced pipe trenching technology in the world.
