Tracked Vehicles

ETA's tracked vehicles include trenchers and vehicles suitable for remote intervention tasks.

Generally our track designs utilise standard components marinised for subsea duty. ETA have conducted research into track design, especially to quantify the soft soil performance of differing designs, this has allowed us to optimise our designs using these components. In addition a range of track plate designs can be offered.

The tracked vehicles are supplied with an easy to use control system. Depending upon the control functions required this can be an extension of the jetting sled control system with the addition of a PLC or a more advanced PC based system.

A number of different burial tools can be fitted to the trenchers. These include jetters, vibro-ploughs, chain cutters and rock wheel cutters.
