The RWA 700 model has lateral tilt, hydraulically operated from the cab, which allows the cutting wheel to always be kept vertical, even when the operating machine is not parallel to the road surface, as when working on pavements. The hydraulic system is designed to enable the equipment to be tilted by +6°/-6° so as to compensate for any differences in height on the jobsite. 

The segmented wheel is designed for any rapid variation of the excavation width while maintaining the same base wheel. It features 80-, 100- and 120-mm expansion sectors - depending on the customer’s excavation needs - which can be easily replaced without having to dismantle the entire cutting disc. The working depth, hydraulically adjusted, varies from a minimum of 400mm up to a maximum of 700mm.

The special design of the outlets allows trenches to be cleared efficiently at the set depth, with no scraper; a solution benefiting from the light weight of the attachment. The excavated material is discharged on both right and left sides but can also be conveyed to one side only by closing off one of the outlets, useful when trenching at roadsides or flush against walls.  

Simex offers more than 18 models of wheel saws specifically designed for reduced set section trenches. The attachments are included in three product ranges: ‘RW’ and ‘T’ for compact loaders and ‘RWE’ for excavator boom mounting. Unlike with conventional excavations, mini trenching has a faster execution, with lower production of waste material and considerably lower restoration times and costs. In addition, the possibility of using smaller operating machines limits the size of road construction sites to the benefit of traffic, especially in urban areas.

The new RWA 700 wheel saw is designed to combine the performance and productivity of wheel cutters for inline excavation, with the precision of small section cuts for fibre laying, thus delivering an extremely versatile and complete product into the hands of utilities specialists.
