T1255 Single-Sided Direct Drive Surface Miner

The T1255 Single-Sided Direct Drive Surface Miner is engineered for demanding civil construction and surface mining applications where precision, productivity, and compliance matter most. Designed to operate in environments restricted by drill-and-blast limitations, air quality regulations, or urban encroachment, the T1255 delivers powerful cutting performance with reduced noise, dust, and vibration. Its unique single-sided attachment enables excavation of reserves that would otherwise be inaccessible—maximizing recovery while improving operational efficiency and safety.
