Among the machinery being shown by Ditch Witch will be the JT24 HDD which offers operators ease of use on congested jobsites

Company name: Ditch Witch

Main business sector: Underground construction/landscaping.

Exhibiting/launching/announcing: Ditch Witch will be exhibiting the SK3000 - a full-size stand-on skid steer, the HX30G vacuum excavator and the JT24 horizontal directional drill.

The SK3000 is the largest stand-on skid steer in Ditch Witch's fleet, and it is built to handle a wide range of construction, landscape and hardscape jobs - including jobs that are normally reserved for traditional, caged skid steers.

The HX30G is designed as the economical option for excavation and non-hazardous clean-up jobs. Its low profile brings manoeuvrability and versatility to jobsites while still maintaining the power expected by vacuum excavator operators.

Built for optimal stability, durability and power, the JT24 offers operators ease of use on congested jobsites. The JT24 uses leading technology to conserve power where it matters most on HDD jobs - downhole.
