Construction
Foundations
| Using the trencher, raft foundations can be dug in a fraction of the time manual labour will ever take. By using the back hoe, bigger and deeper excavations can be done for foundations. |

Trenching
| Any imaginable trench required on a construction site can be dug by the K9-4. From 150 mm wide, up to 1 metre deep, we will do it. The trencher neatly deposits the excavated soil next to the trench, making it easier and more convenient for closing of the trench. At roughly a metre per minute, no manual labour will ever be able to keep up with the K9-4. The neat cut the K9-4 makes also leads to less backfilling and compacting being required. If a trench 300mm wide is required up to a depth of 600mm, the trench will be exactly that. |

Demolition
| By attaching the jack hammer to the K9-4, built structures can easily be demolished. The jack hammer packs a mean punch, and greatly reduces labour and time. It can operate at any angle (vertical, horizontal and diagonal). |

Swimming pools/Splash Pools
By using both the trencher and bucket attachment, digging a hole for a pool is child’s play with the K9-4. Most back hoe machines require space to rotate in. The K9-4 requires only a 1300mm turning circle. So even if you want a splash pool, the K9-4 will be able to turn inside the hole.

Site levelling and clearing
Although not a speciality of the K9-4, construction terrain levelling is also easily done, depending on volume of soil to be moved. The K9-4 will, however be faster than any manual labour.
