2F Micro Trenching Bucket 27" Depth

This deep-dig micro-trenching bucket, commonly referred to as a Virgin Media bucket, is engineered for fast, precise installations of small-diameter pipes and cables—especially fibre optic broadband. The bucket digs to a depth of up to 700 mm (about 27 inches) and is 75 mm wide, enabling narrow, clean trenches. It’s often described as a 7-inch deep dig bucket, but the actual depth is approximately 700 mm. Key dimensions include 40 mm diameter pins, a 140 mm dipper gap, and 185 mm pin centers, designed to integrate smoothly with standard excavator quick-coupler systems.

• Deep-dig capability: Digs up to 700 mm (27") deep, ideal for micro trenching to install fibre optics and other small-diameter services.
• Compact trench width: 75 mm wide cutting edge minimizes trench footprint and soil disturbance for faster reinstatement.
• Specialized micro trenching use: Specifically suited for fibre optic broadband installs and other low-diameter utilities.
• Precise pin and dipper geometry: 40 mm diameter pins, 140 mm dipper gap, and 185 mm pin centers ensure stable digging and compatibility with common excavator configurations.
• Efficient excavation, lower reinstatement costs: Designed to maximize initial trenching speed while reducing backfill and surface restoration work.
• 2F micro trenching design: Tailored for micro trenching workflows (including Virgin Media deployments) to streamline installation projects.

Using this bucket translates to quicker, cleaner trenches with less surface disruption and lower overall project costs. The narrow trench profile helps you lay ducts and cables with precision, reduces soil displacement, and speeds up reinstatement. It’s a practical choice for telecom and utility teams planning fibre deployments, roadside installations, and other small-diameter conduit work where trench efficiency matters.
