The GM 4 crawler tractor has a powerful diesel engine and a hydrostatic drive system that enables the machine to work even on rough terrain.
The GM 4 caterpillar is also equipped with a special protection system that prevents the cutter head from penetrating too deep into the ground and damaging the cable. This is particularly important to ensure a long service life of the cable.
In addition, the GM 4 dozer has a filling device that transports the excavated material directly into a trailer or container. This allows the excavation material to be removed quickly and easily.
All in all, the GM 4 crawler is a robust and reliable machine that is ideal for laying fiberglass. It is easy to use and can be quickly adapted to the requirements of different projects.
Versatile, even in hot, rough or mountainous regions. This modern trencher is the reliable device.
Especially when it comes to trenching or channels. Equipped with all-terrain four-wheel drive in the basic version, the tracked version brings even more safety, precise ride comfort and optimum load distribution. The trencher with chain drive feels comfortable at the edge of the field, where a drainage channel is planned. But also on the solar park, where the lines for green electricity are being laid.
The technically sophisticated equipment of the Grabenmeister GM 4 crawler when laying fibre optics
An economical but very lively 4-cylinder diesel engine provides propulsion and sufficient power on the milling chain. Therefore, even heavy clay soils or boggy terrain are hardly a challenge for this flexibly deployable machine. The excavated material is ejected to the desired side. A conveyor belt can also be used to dispose of this directly onto an accompanying vehicle, which you can rent together with the trencher.
Time-saving with a backfill hopper
The optional backfill hopper on the GM 4 crawler saves time. In one step, the trench is milled and immediately filled with gravel. At the same time, the drainage pipe can be laid via a reel with pipe guide. This ensures the optimal position of the drainage in the channel and three operations are performed in one go. The sole scraper with plates and the dozer blade are also part of the complex scope of delivery.
Special advantages of the GM4 with caterpillar drive
For better roadability, the undercarriage camber was designed to compensate for coarser ground unevenness. Compared to the wheel drive, the tracked version of the trencher brings significant advantages. This includes in particular the even weight distribution of the device. The 4,900 kilogrammes are optimally balanced on the construction site, even in mountainous regions.
The GM 4 crawler trencher can be used on tracks on slopes without any problems. The vertical adjustment provides additional stability. The intelligent tilt device compensates for lateral slopes of up to 12° with the aid of powerful hydraulics. The adjustable operator’s platform is advantageous for difficult operations. This can be moved to the left and far forward, giving the operator a direct view of the milling chain and the trench, which is ideal for laying fiberglass.
As a crawler, the Grabenmeister GM 4 with crawler undercarriage can cope with a wide variety of requirements. The flexible unit can be set to milling depths of 600, 800, 1250 and 1500 mm. Milling chains with knife-carbon bits or as a mixed chain are available. Milling widths from 70 to a maximum of 450 mm are possible.
Additional equipment for trencher GM4 Caterpillar for laying fiberglass
The basic version of the GM 4 is designed as an open ride-on device. In this version, you can also rent these trenchers. The model is also available with either all-wheel drive or powerful track drive. Optionally, a driver’s cab can be mounted as weather protection.
This is always equipped with a particularly comfortable driver’s seat. If the mobile milling machine is purchased for year-round use, it is recommended to install the heater. Downright luxurious, but indispensable in hot countries, the Trenchmaster is also offered with air conditioning for the driver’s cab.
