2C Micro Trenching Bucket - 15" Depth

The 2C Micro Trenching Bucket is a 15" (400mm) deep dig bucket, also known as a Virgin Media or micro trenching bucket. It digs to a precise depth of 400mm and is 75mm wide, with a pin/dipper geometry of 35mm diameter pins, 111mm dipper gap, and 136mm pin centers. Designed for installing small-diameter pipes and cables, it’s particularly well-suited for fibre optic broadband installations. This bucket concentrates the dig in a narrow trench, speeding up the initial excavation and helping reduce reinstatement costs on site.

• Deep trenching depth: Digs to 400mm (15") deep, ideal for fibre optic and other small-diameter cable installs in a single pass.
• Narrow bucket profile: 75mm width to fit tight trenches and limit surface disruption in urban or restricted worksites.
• Precise pin/dipper geometry: 35mm diameter pins, 111mm dipper gap, and 136mm pin centers to match standard excavator couplers and quick-connects.
• Micro trenching focus: Specifically designed for installing small-diameter pipes and cables, with fibre optic broadband as a primary application.
• Efficiency and cost savings: Improves initial digging speed and reduces reinstatement costs by delivering a focused, narrow trench.
• Versatile for challenging sites: Performs well in urban, service-dense environments where precision and reduced disruption matter.

The 2C Micro Trenching Bucket offers a practical, no-nonsense solution for operators and project managers tackling fibre optic and micro trenching tasks. By delivering a consistent 400mm trench depth within a slim 75mm-wide profile, it helps maintain productivity while minimizing surface restoration and backfill requirements. Ideal for utilities contractors, telecom installers, and maintenance crews working in restricted spaces, this bucket aligns with real-world trenching needs without overpromising performance.
