ThoroughClean, manufacturer of heavy
duty water blasters, has launched its first
trailer mounted mine spec diesel driven
hot water pressure cleaner; a cleaning and
degreasing pressure cleaner for draglines
and other applications on mine sites.
Built on a hot dipped galvanised trailer
frame with on-board 1,000litre IBC water
tank, its boiler and pressure pump both
run off the Kohler diesel engine offering
hot water blasting at 15 litres per minute
at up to 3600PSI.
The design features a Hawk triplex
pressure pump, which, with engine,
battery and boiler are vibration-mounted
on a separate sub-frame to prevent
long-term vibration damage and damage
during travelling. The boiler, battery and
control boxes are all double vibration
mounted. The system is also available in
a double axle trailer with 2,000 litre poly
tank and separate detergent tank with
separate hose reel.

Toro’s new TRX tracked trenchers are
designed to allow the machines to handle
cross trenching and work on wet, rainy days
or in sandy, loose soils.
Many wheeled trenchers would struggle
in these conditions whereas the tracks of
the Toro TRX disperse the weight of the
machine, providing high flotation while
delivering traction in any ground condition,
Semco’s Graham Murphy said.
“The key to working faster and straighter
than with other walk- behind trenchers is
the unit’s dedicated track undercarriage.
The track drive design provides a low centre
of gravity and large footprint,” he said.
“The design offers stability and increased
manoeuvrability over rough terrain
without causing damage to existing turf by
eliminating tyre ruts and flat tyres.
“The tracks, unlike wheeled machines,
also prevent the machine from getting
caught in the trench or causing cave-ins of
the sidewalls while cross trenching and the
tracked design, in combination with zero-
turn capabilities, allows TRX trenchers to
easily access confined areas.
“Three simple controls operate all
Walk-behind trenchers right on track

traction and trenching functions to provide
less jerking than other trenchers with
handle-bar steering,” he said.
TRX models trench up to 1219mm deep
and 203mm wide. The 19.38kW Kawasaki
twin-cylinder engine provides a flat torque
curve.
