MT16 MICROTRENCHER
MICROTRENCHER. MAJOR RESULTS.
The MT16 microtrencher cleanly cuts through asphalt or concrete, helping utility contractors install fiber optic cable with ease.
FEATURES
PRODUCTIVITY
• The narrow, small trench enables contractors to install fiber shallower than other utilities with minimal disruption to the surrounding infrastructure, saving time and money.
• Designed specifically for faster fiber installation, the MT16 helps contractors reduce cost-per-foot beyond traditional installation methods.
EFFICIENT CUT
• The MT16 saw articulates/flexes up to 6 degrees when following the machine path to allow a tighter cut radius. This enables operators to effectively cut on a 90-degree street corner or cul-de-sac.
DURABLE BLADES
• Ditch Witch offers a complete lineup of saw blades ranging from standard carbide-tipped blades to the Ditch Witch-exclusive PDC blades with diamond embedded carbide.
• The blades are easily changeable on a jobsite with standard hand tools, saving operators time on the job and improving productivity.
SUPERIOR SYSTEM
• The MT16 is part of a complete microtrenching system specifically designed and configured for the Ditch Witch RT55 and RT80 ride-on trenchers.
• Vacuum excavation is used to remove spoils created by the saw blade during trenching to reduce cleanup time and labor expense.
• The Ditch Witch HX75 vacuum excavator equipped with a cyclonic separator to handle the dry, dusty spoils produced by microtrenching can be positioned either in front of the trencher or to the rear depending on jobsite needs.
INNOVATIVE
• The versatile MT16 can also be used for other roadway applications, including cutting expansion joints, utility repair and maintenance.
• Based on direct feedback from underground construction operators, Ditch Witch microtrenching equipment is the industry leader, helping you get fiber jobs done efficiently with less time and expense.
SUPERIOR PRODUCTIVITY
Creates an ideal trench for fiber-optic cable installation, from 0.5 to 2 in (12.7 to 50.8 mm) wide and up to 16 in (406.4 mm) deep.
CLEAN CUTS
Designed for use with the Ditch Witch® HX75 vacuum excavator, the MT16 slices cleanly through asphalt or concrete, delivering a perfect trench in one pass.
MANUFACTURED FOR EFFICIENCY
The saw articulates/flexes up to 6 degrees when following the machine path to allow for a tighter cut radius for maximum efficiency around corners or cul-de-sacs.
MAXIMUM VERSATILITY
Compatible with a variety of unique saw blades ranging from standard carbide-tipped blades to Ditch Witch-exclusive PDC, diamond-embedded, carbide blades.
INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING
The MT16 can hydraulically traverse 24 in (610 mm) from the center of the machine to the right for easier trenching next to curbs and gutters.
INCREASED CONTROL
Equipped with a standard hydraulic plunge, the MT16 provides variable depth control from 0 to 16 in (406.4 mm), eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
