Narrow trenching bucket
A narrow trench means less spoil to take out and less backfill to bring back.
Over a length of it, the difference becomes a line on the quotation.
Other names for this tool: trench bucket, narrow bucket, narrow excavation bucket, cable bucket.

What it is for
Right: in sticky clay, the narrow bucket clogs and empties badly.
What sets it apart:
the trench is the width of the service, not that of the bucket — and the saving shows downstream.

Dry services, drains, a supply to an isolated point:
many trenches do not need to be wide.
A narrow bucket respects the useful section and nothing more.
The saving does not show at the bucket:
it shows at the carting away, at the backfill, at the compaction and at the surface reinstatement.
It is the sum of those items that makes the difference.
Narrow also means slower to load and more prone to sticking. In heavy clay, a narrow bucket empties badly.
The right decision is made on the real ground, not on the theoretical section.
On which machine?
A narrow trenching bucket fits excavators from 1,5 to 25 t.
It attaches to all couplers via a mounting plate, including the Morin coupler.
What the tool does
It is a narrow bucket for digging and ditching.
It weighs from 52 to 87 kg.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
It is a passive tool: it needs no hydraulic connection.

Your study sets the exact value for your machine.
Have your machine checked.
Give us the trench section imposed, the length and the nature of the ground.
We will tell you what width the calculation supports.
- Your machine Its make and its tonnage.
- The auxiliary circuit Its flow in l/min, its pressure in bar, single- or double-acting.
- The coupler in place Its system and its class.
- The work The use, and the material.
Without these details, the study still begins: we will ask you for them.

What determines the choice
- 01 — The section really needed It is often smaller than the one dug out of habit.
-
02 — The ground
Sticky clay, running sand, stony ground:
each limits how narrow you can go. - 03 — The depth A narrow, deep trench raises safety questions that are not those of the tool.
- 04 — The length It is what turns a small saving into a real one.
What is checked before ordering
- The section imposed by the service It comes from the network operator, not from habit.
- The ground crossed And how variable it is along the length.
- The interface Coupler designation or pin dimensions.
- The shoring rules that apply They depend on the depth and the ground, never on the tool.
