Ditch Witch’s industry-first electric trencher delivers instant torque
The electric trencher can trench up to 1,000 feet on a single charge
Ditch Witch introduced the industry's first electric trencher at ARA 2025. The c3E is a compact, walk-behind trencher that has been engineered for easy use and maximized productivity. The new trencher is designed to deliver increased power to the job site and reduce the risk of start-up issues. The electric motor of the c3E produces instant torque, enabling operators to trench up to 1,000 feet in clay on a single charge.
Quieter operation with reduced vibration
The c3E is capable of trenching up to three feet deep, and is appropriate for a variety of irrigation and utility installation projects. The unit features intuitive controls and easy starting capabilities, says the company. With reduced equipment vibration, the c3E mitigates operator fatigue, helping operators to boost productivity and profitability. The c3E can regulate trenching speed, allowing for more efficient cuts without the need to fight the machine, enabling smoother operation.
The c3E's electric components help to reduce noise pollution, creating a quieter job site. The unit is also engineered to streamline maintenance routines, eliminating the need for engine oil checks. As a result, rental company owners can potentially increase rental frequency, as operators complete jobs more efficiently.
