POWER PROFILE: Wolfe Trenchers

Power in the Trenches

Trenchers

In 1953, John Wolfe started a drainage contracting business with a new wheel trencher. After 14 years of successful operation, he sold the company and formed Wolfe Heavy Equipment to manufacture and supply parts for all types of trenching equipment. In 2012, Veeke Inc. purchased Wolfe, moved it into a modern manufacturing facility and implemented new systems and processes to enhance the overall customer experience. Over the years, Wolfe acquired other manufacturers and distributorships and began supplying products across Canada and the United States. With its machines covering a broad geographic area, the company encountered a wide range of soil types, climatic conditions and special applications — always responding with equipment updates and technological advances to meet those needs.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  • With the challenge of identifying an engine solution for its wheel trenchers, drainage plows and dewatering trenchers that would meet Tier 4 Final emission standards without sacrificing equipment performance, Wolfe needed support. Cat® dealer Tomomont stepped in and a new relationship was formed. 
  • Toromont brought the Wolfe and Caterpillar design teams together — and the two groups collaborated on a solution that is delivering optimal results despite the tight engine compartment space.
  • Cat C15 and C18 engines, providing horsepower ranging from 475 hp to 630 hp, not only enable Wolfe’s trenching equipment to meet Tier 4 Final emission standards, but also help the company ensure those products hold grade in even the toughest conditions.
  • Another selling point in the selection process — Cat engines have a strong brand reputation and name recognition with customers.
  • Worldwide support with the Cat dealer network was another factor in Caterpillar's favor, and Wolfe's equipment is global and requires reliable global support.
