2J Micro Trenching Bucket 27" Depth

Designed for micro trenching work and fibre optic installations, the 2J Micro Trenching Bucket is a 27" deep dig bucket (also known as a Virgin Media or micro trenching bucket). It digs to about 700mm and is 75mm wide, making it ideal for narrow, precise trenches for small-diameter pipes and cables. Key dimensions include a 35mm diameter pin, 135mm dipper gap, and 165mm pin centres. This bucket helps improve the efficiency of the initial dig and can significantly reduce reinstatement costs on fibre optic broadband projects.

• Depth reach: 27" deep, capable of digging to approximately 700mm to install conduits and fibre routes in a single pass.
• Narrow trench design: 75mm wide opening tailored for micro trenching and small-diameter installations.
• Pin and dipper geometry: 35mm diameter pins with 165mm pin centres and a 135mm dipper gap for stable, precise trenching action.
• Primary use: Ideal for fibre optic broadband installations and other small-diameter cables and conduits.
• Efficiency and cost benefits: Accelerates the initial digging phase and helps reduce reinstatement costs by delivering clean, consistent trenches.

This bucket is a practical choice for excavator owners working on fibre rollouts, telecom conduits, and similar micro trenching tasks. It delivers focused performance in tight spaces, supports faster trenching operations, and minimizes backfill and surface disturbance compared with conventional digging approaches.
