    A trencher is a piece of construction equipment used to dig trenches, typically for laying pipes or cables. There are different types of trenchers that vary in size and operation, including wheel trenchers, rock trenchers, and portable trenchers. Wheel trenchers are the fastest for excavating and most cost effective, using a circular wheel with buckets to dig. Rock trenchers can cut through harder ground including stone and are used for roadwork. Portable trenchers are lightweight and maneuverable, used by landscapers for irrigation and utility lines installation.
