2025 Vermeer® Pipeline Trenchers T1255III
The elevating cab allows optimal visibility and added comfort with the air ride seat.
The sealed cab has self-contained heating and air conditioning with sound attenuating foam.
It is also a rollover protective module (ROPM) and provides falling object protection (FOPS).
Heavy-duty trencher handles pipeline projects with high-volume spoil removal through an extra-wide 36-in (9-cm) dirt conveyor opening.
SmartTEC performance monitoring assists operators with adjustments to machine controls to help improve efficiency and tracks the operational performance of the machine on a consistent platform across all machine models.
Features may include:
- The heavy-duty T1255 trencher from Vermeer provides the trench digging power needed to cut through solid rock for large-diameter applications
 
- Vermeer SmartTEC electronic control system monitors real-time machine performance
