Ditch Witch RT45 Ladder Trencher from Mexico
The Ditch Witch RT45 is a ride-on, self-propelled ladder-type trencher used for municipal sewer and water line installation. It is classified under tariff item 8429.59.00 as an 'other' mechanical shovel, excavator, or shovel loader, since it is not a bulldozer, grader, or road roller. Its ladder bucket system and self-propelled design place it in this residual category.
