The Story
Hitachi ZX16 Micro Trenching Bucket - 27"/700mm Depth
Rhinox's 27" (700 mm) Deep Dig Bucket, also known as a Micro Trenching or Plumbing bucket, is engineered to fit the Hitachi ZX16 mini excavator. It extends trenching depth to 700 mm, making it well-suited for installing small-diameter pipes and cables, fibre optic broadband, and narrow irrigation lines in a single pass. This focused bucket design helps you work faster on utility installations and can reduce reinstatement costs by minimizing disturbance and backfill effort. It’s also available in a 3" (75 mm) width for ultra-narrow trenching needs.
- Compatibility: Specifically designed to fit the Hitachi ZX16 mini excavator for a secure, precise attachment.
- Deep trenching capability: 27" / 700 mm digging depth to reach deeper routes for small-diameter utilities in one pass.
- Micro trenching design: Narrow trench profile that reduces soil disruption while delivering efficient, clean trenches.
- Width options: Available in a 3" / 75 mm width for ultra-narrow trenching requirements.
- Efficiency and cost benefits: Cuts digging and backfill time and helps minimize reinstatement costs on utility installs.
- Versatile applications: Ideal for fibre optic installs, plumbing, irrigation trenching, and telecom cabling in tight spaces.
This micro trenching bucket is built to perform in constrained work zones, delivering precise, controlled trenches that support faster installation timelines and predictable backfill results. It’s a practical, dedicated tool for excavator operators who routinely trench for utilities and low-clearance applications.
