BTM trench digging vehicle

BTM 3


BTM is a special engineering machine designed for digging trenches and roads on without stones soil hardness to IV category. His task is to expedite digging trenches dimensions of up to 1.5 m depth and 1.1 m width. Depending on the soil structure and the depth of the trench, the BTM-3 can be used to deepen the ditch 270 to 810 m. in one hour. In case of an emergency, in the case of a deep ditch 40-50 cm, the BTM-3 can dig 1200-1400 meters per hour.
