Rotating Transverse Drum Cutter
Experience high precision and power with our Transverse Drum Cutter, also known as a Trench Drum or Rotating Pulveriser. The Transverse Drum Cutter is available in both fixed and rotating models.
The Transverse Drum Cutter comes equipped with twin rotating drums with replaceable picks, a sturdy drive assembly and a conical roller bearing system. It mitigates noise and vibrations in comparison to conventional rock hammers which is a key factor in maintaining both operator and machine health. Case drain lines ensure easy maintenance and an easy-to-access bearing assembly. Operational underwater of depths up to 30m.
It’s shrouded in high-strength steel for durability in heavy-duty applications. All internal drive assemblies and bearings are manufactured from the same high-strength steel to contribute to longevity and long-term reliability.
All Transverse Drum Cutters come standard with our industry-leading 5-year warranty and a FREE Servicing Kit (up to $5,280 value) which comes with a pick set and retainers.

Twin Rotating Drums/Cutting Heads: Equipped with twin rotating drums/cutting heads which include replaceable picks for improved lifespan and simplified maintenance. Powered by a high-torque motor for powerful cutting force, the conical roller bearings improve the load capacity and reduce friction. This allows for efficient cutting and grinding of various materials, improving performance and versatility.
Drive Assembly: Includes bearing housing on both the motor side and opposite side, securing the cutting heads with protective covers for the bearings. This enhances durability and reliability, allowing the drum cutter to withstand extreme working conditions, with the protective covers reducing wear and tear on the attachment.
Low Noise and Vibration: Specifically designed and engineered to reduce noise and vibrations, when compared to other alternatives such as rock breakers. This allows operation in areas with noise restrictions, as well as improving operator comfort. It also reduces stress on the attachment and excavator, resulting in improved lifespan and reducing maintenance.
Underwater Operation: Operable underwater up to a depth of 30 metres. This is possible due to the sealed drive motor and components, which have water-resistant housing. Tackle underwater projects with ease, allowing for greater versatility.
Rotating or Stationary Models: Available in both rotating or stationary configurations. The rotating model includes 360-degree continuous rotation to allow for precise control and manoeuvrability. Meanwhile the stationary option provides better stability.
Simple Maintenance: Includes features to allow for simple maintenance, keeping the attachment up and running more often. Cover panels are easily removable to allow access to internal components and grease points are strategically placed for routine lubrication.
Customisable: A wide variety of customisation options are available, including custom drum sizes, specialised picks, enhanced bearing systems and the choice between rotating or stationary models.
Free Wear Protection & Spares: Free Servicing Kit (up to $5,280 value) which comes with a pick set and retainers.

Customer Testimonials
See why Aussie operators love us!
Aussie Buckets were very professional from start to finish with my recent purchase of a Ripper. Great product, price and service.
Craig Drew
I made an initial inquiry to Aussie Buckets from their FB post. One of their sales team got back to me promptly. They were not pushy and quoted me on my inquiry for a bucket to suit my machine. Price was fair and i made the decision to place an order. The process was smooth and great communication along the way. I collected the bucket and was pleased with the way it turned out. Will return to Aussie buckets for any additional needs in the future and also happy to share my recommendations. Thanks to the team at Aussie Buckets. 👍🏼

Slight delays as is expected in the current climate but what was nice to see was the constant communication. Bucket arrived and very happy with the quality.
Chris Matthews
The team at Aussie Buckets went above and beyond to help me decide on buying a Hammer for my 5t excavator. From the numerous phone calls and emails to the warehouse walk through to show me what I would be purchasing. For literally under half the price of the competition for a product that does not disappoint and has a warranty that is in some cases 5x the competition! Thanks guys I will be certainly buying more products from you in the future! Regards, Concise Civil Group

We bought a 1200mm sieve bucket off Aussie buckets for our cat 432F backhoe. The whole team was amazing from the initial enquiries right through to delivery with excellent communication during the whole process. The buckets very solid with great workmanship we couldn't be happier with it. Will 100% buy off Aussie buckets again.
