The Rocksaw Advantage

Over Three Decades of Rock Trencher ManufacturingToday, ROCKSAW Trenchers are in operation around the world replacing environmentally dangerous blasting procedures.
Caterpillar Power ModulesROCKSAW Trenchers are built exclusively to fit Caterpillar Power Modules D7/D8/D9/D10 and D11.
Caterpillar PowerEngines include: Caterpillar 3508 TA ( 1000 horsepower) in D7 Caterpillar 3512 TA (1200-1500 horsepower) in D8 and D10
Full Warranty And ServiceROCKSAW offers the same customer support system of warranty, parts, service, and backup as Caterpillar equipment available world wide.
ROCKSAW’s Revolutionary Cutter Chain SystemROCKSAW’s patented cutter chain design and tooth angle maximizes cutting efficiency and tooth life. ROCKSAW cutting chains are custom forges alloy steel links normalized and heat treated in two stages to provide strength, wear, and duct ability. ROCKSAW’s cutting chain system possesses no bolts, nuts, wear plates or crawler track links. It virtually eliminates daily maintenance and welding.
Easy Operator Control and ComfortROCKSAW has the latest hydraulic conveyor technology and chain tightening system. Totally enclosed, pressurized cabs are air conditioned and have hydro-cushioned chairs.
Total Hydraulic PowerROCKSAW Trenchers are electrically controlled and totally hydraulically powered throughout. There are no chain drives or other mechanical linkages in any part of the ROCKSAW assembly. ROCKSAW has developed the most protective hydraulic filtration system ever developed for hydraulic power it includes both high and low pressure filtration. A dedicated, hydraulic system for each hydraulic function simplifies trouble shooting procedures.
Designed and Built With Total BalanceThe entire ROCKSAW Trencher is engineered for balance and weight control. Counterweights or shift able cabs are not needed for balance.
A full range of Cutting Depths And WidthsStandard depths of 3’ to 15’ and widths from 30” to 13'. Custom cutting arrangements for specialized trenching equipment built o­n caterpillar D7 through D11 power modules. This flexibility gives the contractor a machine to fit any size construction job.
The Proven ROCKSAWThe ROCKSAW Trencher has been proven in all kinds of weather, terrain, and rock since 1974. Today, the ROCKSAW is the o­nly rock trencher proven capable of trenching rock o­n the ocean floor as proven in the straits of Malaysia, Singapore and Boston Harbor.
