Vanguard® Engine: Reliable Rental Power

See how Niemann ACE Hardware helped simplify work for rental customers by repowering a trencher with a Vanguard 160 engine. Quick installation and user-friendly features boosted efficiency and customer satisfaction for their Ground Hog T4 trenchers.
July 3, 2025

Niemann ACE Hardware (Niemann) upgraded its Ground Hog T4 trenchers with the Vanguard 160 horizontal shaft single-cylinder commercial engine to enhance its rental offerings. The trencher’s existing engine caused maintenance headaches, messy leaks, and difficult starting for customers. The new Vanguard® 160 engine provides a simple, drop-in solution, featuring TransportGuard® technology to prevent oil/fuel dilution and ensure easy starting. This swap enhanced customer satisfaction and operational efficiency, allowing Niemann to confidently book more back-to-back rentals and streamline their fleet management.
