Trenching apparatus and a method of trenching
A trenching apparatus 75, having a body moveable on the ground surface and a ground engagement boom (figure 1, 12) associated with the body, the boom being movable when engaged with the ground to form a trench. A main power supply is provided to power the apparatus. Lifting means are powered by the main power supply and are arranged to control and configure the ground engagement boom so as to enter the ground. An auxiliary power supply 74 is arranged to provide power to the lifting means in the event of failure of the main power supply. Optionally, the auxiliary power supply is integrated with the body of the apparatus or is an independent separate unit connectable to the apparatus in the event of failure of the main power supply. Optionally, in the in the event of failure of the main power supply, the main hydraulic power supply is disconnected from the apparatus and hydraulic fluid conduits of the auxiliary power supply are connected to the apparatus to power the apparatus.
