AFT, a UK-based company, is a renowned developer of drainage technology and a manufacturer of efficient excavation machinery. Land reclamation significantly impacts soil productivity, meaning the potential of new varieties created by plant breeders can only be realised by optimising soil moisture, which can be achieved with AFT trench drain excavators (reclamation machinery). The range of mounted trench excavators and plastic drainage pipe laying machines consists of two types of units: those with scraper chain and scraper rotor working equipment.
