3E Micro Trenching Bucket 27" Depth

The 3E Micro Trenching Bucket is a 27" deep dig bucket (often called a Micro Trenching or Virgin Media bucket) designed for precise, narrow trenches. It’s 75 mm wide and digs to a depth of about 700 mm, with specific mounting dimensions of 35 mm diameter pin, 135 mm dipper gap, and 135 mm pin centres. This bucket is specifically optimized for installing small-diameter pipes and cables, with a particular focus on fibre optic broadband installations.

• Deep micro trenching capable: 27" (approximately 700 mm) digging depth to reach buried services quickly in a single pass.
• Narrow profile: 75 mm wide trench footprint to minimize surface disruption and reinstatement needs.
• Precise mounting dimensions: 35 mm pin diameter, 135 mm dipper gap, and 135 mm pin centres for reliable, stable attachment on compatible excavators.
• Fiber optic installation ready: Ideal for laying small-diameter fibre cables with clean, controlled trenches.
• Efficiency and cost savings: Increases efficiency of the initial dig and helps reduce reinstatement costs on telecom and utility projects.

Designed for professionals in construction and utility work, this bucket delivers a focused, narrow trenching solution that minimizes ground disturbance while providing the depth needed for fibre installs and other small-diameter services. Its targeted design helps crews complete micro trenching tasks faster, with cleaner backfill and lower overall project costs.
