2M Micro Trenching Bucket 15" Depth

The 2M Micro Trenching Bucket is a 15" depth deep-dig bucket designed for precise, narrow trenches. Also known as the Micro Trenching or Virgin Media bucket, it focuses on efficiency when laying small-diameter pipes and cables, with fibre optic broadband as a primary use. The bucket measures 75 mm in width and reaches a digging depth of about 400 mm. Key mounting details include 30 mm pin diameter, 111 mm dipper gap, and 140 mm pin centers. This design helps accelerate the initial trenching phase and can reduce reinstatement costs, making it a practical choice for telecom and utility work. Video demonstrations are available to illustrate its use.

• 15" depth reach: Deep-dig capability to create a narrow, consistent trench suitable for small-diameter cables and fibre installs.
• 75 mm trench width: Slim profile minimizes surface disruption and supports cleaner reinstatement while protecting surrounding ground.
• Precise mounting geometry: 30 mm pin diameter, 111 mm dipper gap, and 140 mm pin centers for secure attachment to compatible excavator arms.
• Micro trenching for fibre optics: Optimized for fibre optic broadband deployment and other low-diameter utilities, improving install speed and accuracy.
• Efficiency and cost benefits: By delivering clean, narrow trenches, it speeds up digging and reduces follow-up restoration work.

This bucket is specifically geared toward contractors and operators installing fibre networks or small-diameter infrastructure. Its narrow trench profile and targeted depth help you complete installations with less ground disturbance and quicker reinstatement, making it a reliable choice for demanding trenching tasks on the job site.
