For safety, there is a standard, factory- supplied rear-view camera with a large 14.4-centimetre multi-function colour display that also monitors the machine’s vital functions.

The new MTC100 coring attachment complements Ditch Witch Australia’s portfolio of mini skid steers and vacuum excavation equipment for work under paved surfaces. Designed to work exclusively with the SK line of mini skid steer units (the SK800, SK1050 and SK1550), the MTC100 Keyhole coring tech reduces public disruption factor Ditch Witch Australia has launched MTC100 coring attachment, in partnership with Utilicor Technologies for its construction-grade Ditch Witch mini skid steer. can quickly and accurately cut up to a 450mm diameter hole and 550mm depth, minimising surface disruption. Vacuum systems are then used to excavate down to the utility for maintenance that can be performed from the road surface using special long-handled tools. Once the underground work has been completed, the original core is bonded back into the pavement as a permanent pavement repair for minimal surface disruption; no patching or repaving required. According to Ditch Witch Australia, keyhole coring technologies are approximately 50% less costly than traditional excavation repairs and disposal removal. Smaller, more precise tools and a more localised approach result in less disruption and faster repair. Roads can be reopened to traffic within 30 minutes of repair completion. Utilicor also provides reinstatement material Utilibond. Capable of supporting up to 22 x 500kgs in 30 minutes, this pavement-bonding compound results in a permanent pavement repair that reduces public inconvenience, requires no additional paving materials and is field- proven to be effective for 10+ years.
