Hitachi ZX17U Micro Trenching Bucket - 27"/700mm Depth

Designed to pair with the Hitachi ZX17U mini excavator, this Rhinox 27" (700 mm) Deep Dig Bucket—often called a Micro Trenching or Plumbing bucket—delivers precise, narrow trenches for utilities. It’s ideal for installing small-diameter pipes and cables, fibre optic broadband, and narrow irrigation trenches. By concentrating the cut and minimizing unnecessary disturbance, it helps you complete trenching tasks more efficiently and reduces reinstatement costs. Available in three trench widths: 3" (75 mm), 4" (100 mm), and 5" (125 mm).

• Deep trench depth: 27" / 700 mm digging depth creates consistent, narrow trenches ideal for utilities.
• ZX17U fit: specifically engineered to fit the Hitachi ZX17U mini excavator for secure and reliable operation.
• Widths to suit different runs: available in 3" (75 mm), 4" (100 mm), and 5" (125 mm) trench widths.
• Efficient trenching: reduces digging and backfill time, helping lower reinstatement costs on site.
• Durable construction: built to withstand the rigors of micro trenching with reinforced wear edges for extended life.
• Versatile use: ideal for fibre optic installations, plumbing runs, and narrow irrigation trenches.

This bucket enables precise control over trench dimensions, minimizing surface disruption and material waste. The slim, dedicated profile improves alignment and backfill quality, so you can complete trenching tasks faster with less downtime. With multiple width options, you can tailor each trench to the service being installed—reducing over-digging and speeding up reinstatement on telecom, water, and irrigation projects carried out with the ZX17U.
