Specialist Machinery

Mastenbroek Trenchers:

Our Mastenbroek Trenchers are high-performance equipment, designed for speed, precision, and minimal ground disturbance. Delivered by our skilled, experienced team, this service ensures expert results in even the most challenging environments.

Ideal for sites where traditional excavation would be too slow or disruptive, trenching is well suited to projects such as:

• Water mains and irrigation systems
• Temporary drainage for site compounds and haul roads
• Service cable and ducting installation
• Sports pitch and turf drainage
• Statutory and private utility works

With the capability to trench up to 2,500 metres per day and widths starting from just 100mm, this method significantly reduces reinstatement costs and minimises environmental impact. Our approach combines efficiency with accuracy, delivering high-quality results even in the most challenging environments.

All work is undertaken by experienced FGS Pilcher operators using specialist machinery, including:

• The Mastenbroek 30/20 – perfect for large-scale, high-accuracy trenching
• The Mastenbroek 10/12 – ideal for confined or sensitive sites

14 Tonne Long Reach Excavators with LGP Tracks:

Our range of Long Reach Excavators up to 22t are equipped with Low Ground Pressure (LGP) tracks and available with one of our experience, skilled operators.

Built for performance in soft, wet, and sensitive terrain, this machine delivers the reach and stability needed to get the job done – no matter how challenging the conditions.

Ideal for construction projects including:

• Drainage and ditching works
• Earthworks in flood-prone or marshy areas
• Site preparation in low-load-bearing ground
• Bank stabilisation and slope shaping
• Culvert installation and maintenance
• A smarter choice for challenging sites

With an extended boom for hard-to-reach areas and LGP tracks that minimise ground disturbance, this excavator helps maintain progress without compromising sensitive terrain. Its low ground pressure footprint supports compliance with environmental standards, while ensuring stability and safety on difficult surfaces.

To minimise environmental impact, we’re using biodegradable hydraulic oil and environmentally friendly grease on all of our long reach fleet to reduce our impact while working in sensitive habitats.

Supplied with a fully trained operator, the machine arrives ready to perform – saving time, reducing risk, and adding value to your project from day one.
