Wind Farm Trenching

Heavy-duty trenchers and plows engineered for renewable-energy cable and collector trenching across wind farm sites.

Wind farm construction demands equipment that can open long, consistent trenches for collector cable across miles of varied terrain. Port Industries trenchers and plows are built to keep renewable-energy contractors productive on schedule, handling rock, hardpan, and changing soil conditions while protecting the cable bed.
