Sewer Replacements Manufacturers | Ditch Witch

Ditch Witch is an American manufacturer specializing in the design and manufacture of underground construction equipment. The company is a source for trenchers, vibratory plows, horizontal directional drilling systems, drill pipe, downhole tools, vacuum excavation systems, fluid management systems, and mini skid steers.

Innovation of Ditch Witch machines began in the 1940s when a compact trenching machine was created to replace the pick and shovel for installation of underground residential utility services.

Directional Bore Machines

Ditch Witch directional bore machines are rated by thrust and pullback force and rotary pressure. Machine sizes range from small with a few thousands pounds of thrust and pullback to the largest with over a million pounds of pullback force. Rotation is measured in pressure. Our Ditch Witch machines are track or trailer mounted with a few smaller machines designed for use in pits.
