Perimeter wire machines are used to bury wires, cables, and other peripherals a few centimeters into the ground. They are lightweight, compact, and designed to operate at a constant rate. They are ideal for installing invisible fences for robotic lawnmowers, pets, and many other applications.
With the growing popularity of commercial and domestic surveillance networks, outdoor lighting and irrigation systems, robotic lawn mowers, and invisible fences for animal safety, there is an increasing need to install wires and cables in shallow trenches. Digging these by hand or with a traditional trenching machine can be very time-consuming, untidy and costly. A new piece of installation equipment is now available. Stop digging and start winning!

Perimeter Wire Machines – So Many Applications, So Much Time Saved
Perimeter wire machines, also referred to as wire burying machines, are used to bury wires, cables, and other peripherals a few centimeters into the ground. These machines are lightweight, compact, and designed to operate at a constant rate. They typically feature a steel blade that can be used on all types of soil, including stony, regular, and compacted ground.
This equipment is useful for installing invisible fences for robotic lawnmowers, pets and many other applications. No need to pre-dig trenches. Perimeter Wire Machines cut the ground and install the cable in a simple, fluid movement.
How to Choose a Perimeter Wire Machine
You can use a perimeter wire machine to install wiring along shrubs and hedges as well as into tight corners and under low branches. If you need to move closer to the edges, you should choose a model that comes with a reversible blade.
It is also ideal to choose a model with a sliding foot so that the accumulation of debris around the axis and the blade can be reduced. This sliding foot feature is also helpful in preventing grass damage and helping the blade cut into the ground.
In addition, choose a model that has an ergonomic handle so that you can work comfortably. You should be able to adjust the handle as well as operate the equipment, even in tight spaces. You may also want to go for a unit that is compact and lightweight so that you can easily store, transport and move it around the work-site.

How to Use a Perimeter Wire Machine
As with any equipment, it is important to carefully follow the instructions provided with the machine for setup and use for these type of machines. Generally, setup will involve aligning the spool and wire guide and adjusting the blade according to the type of soil that you are working with.
Adjust the height of the handle for a comfortable working position.
Keep in mind that you should never work against the machine. Instead, you should work with it. Do not attempt to go faster than the wheel traction allows.
Work carefully when moving around corners and objects.
If you need to move up a hill, lower the position of the handle and support the machine’s upward progress. Once you reach the top of the hill, you can move the handle back to the regular operating position.
Of course, it is important to wear appropriate protective clothing when operating machinery. To protect yourself and prevent injury, you should wear safety glasses, anti-vibration gloves, hearing protectors and steel-toed boots.
