Trench digging and carrying with the same bucket attachment present on one track vehicle, the created dual functionality saves both time and expense by doing on-site what would normally be required to be done with two separate vehicles and additional manpower. The bucket attachment is especially advantageous when used in areas with limited space. Another advantage is that the modification can be adapted to bucket vehicles of various sizes.

Provided is a microtrench fill comprising concrete, a polymer, and a colorant. Also provided is a method of using the microtrench fill to fill a microtrench in a street or walkway.

An automated backslope cutting system which, based on a survey of an area, automatically adjusts a scraper blade during the cutting of a ditch backslope. The automated backslope cutting system generally includes a scraper which is automatically adjusted by a computing device to effectuate cutting of backslopes for a ditch based on a desired cut profile. The desired cut profile may be manually entered by the operator and automatically processed by the computing device. The area is surveyed with a positioning sensor to determine an optimal desired cut profile requiring a minimum number of cuts. A proximity sensor may be provided to accommodate for rotational movement of the cutting blade as the scraper performs cuts. A control software is provided for execution by the computing device to provide functionality including the automatic adjustment of hydraulic actuators controlling movement of the cutting blade as the scraper cuts the ditch and backslopes.

Power equipment, a driving device of trench cutter, and a trench cutter are disclosed. The power equipment comprises a motor, a motor installation seat with an inner cavity having a first installation hole and a second installation hole in respective ends, and a transmission shaft. The motor, at the upper part of the seat, is sealingly connected with the seat. A motor output shaft extends into the inner cavity through the first installation hole. One end of the transmission shaft extends into the inner cavity through the second installation hole and is drivingly connected with the motor output shaft. The middle part of the transmission shaft and the second installation hole are sealingly connected; the other end of the transmission shaft extends from the second installation hole. A motor oil drainage cavity can be sealed by sealing the seat without changing the structure of the motor without a lip seal.

A spring-loaded feeding device for a ditch digging apparatus. The spring-loaded feeding device includes a shaft rotatably mountable on a frame and rotatable in a direction of rotation, and one or more feeder paddle assemblies. each feeder paddle assembly comprises a bracket on the shaft extending radially outward, the bracket comprising a pivot axis proximate the shaft and a spring-connection point spaced apart from the pivot axis. The feeder paddle assembly also has a feeder paddle with a first end near the shaft and a second end spaced apart from the first end, the feeder paddle extending radially outward from the shaft from the first end to the second end, the feeder paddle being pivotally coupled to the bracket at the pivot axis and also coupled to the bracket by a spring positioned between the feeder paddle and the spring-connection point of the bracket.

A collector assembly for collecting debris from opposite sides of a member such as an elevated beam. The collector assembly includes a platform extending laterally between a first side edge and a second side edge. A first trough is provided for disposition along one side of the beam for receiving debris. A second trough is provided for disposition along the opposite side of the beam and is adjacent to and parallel with the first trough.
