The Story
2F Micro Trenching Bucket - 15" Depth
The 2F Micro Trenching Bucket, also known as the Virgin Media bucket, is a 15" depth deep dig bucket designed for precise micro-trenching work. It enables clean, narrow trenches for small-diameter pipes and cables, with a strong focus on fibre optic broadband installations. Key dimensions are 40mm pin diameter, 140mm dipper gap, and 185mm pin centers, with a compact 75mm-wide body that digs to about 400mm. This design delivers efficient initial digging and helps reduce reinstatement costs on fibre and telecom projects.
- Depth capability: Digs to 400mm (15") depth for controlled, deep micro-trenching in challenging soils.
- Ultra-narrow profile: 75mm wide body minimizes trench width and surface disruption for faster reinstatement.
- Precise geometry: 40mm pin diameter, 140mm dipper gap, 185mm pin centers for stable attachment and predictable digging performance.
- Fiber optic-focused: Specifically suited for installing small-diameter cables, with fibre broadband deployment in mind.
- Efficiency and cost savings: Improves the efficiency of the initial dig and significantly reduces reinstatement costs through cleaner trenches.
This bucket is ideal for micro-trenching teams handling fibre optic installs and other small-diameter cabling jobs. It provides a reliable, straightforward solution to reach required depths with minimal surface impact, helping you complete more work in less time while maintaining trench integrity.
