2025 Ditch Witch® Micro MT16
MICROTRENCHER. MAJOR RESULTS.
The MT16 microtrencher cleanly cuts through asphalt or concrete, helping utility contractors install fiber optic cable with ease.
Features may include:
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.
- 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.
- Ditch Witch offers a complete line up of saw blades ranging from standard carbide-tipped blades to the 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.
- The MT16 is part of a complete microtrenching system specifically designed and configured for the Ditch Witch RT55 and RT80 ride-on trenchers. The Ditch Witch HX75 vacuum excavator is equipped with a cyclonic separator to handle dry, dusty spoils and can be positioned either in front of the trencher or to the rear depending on jobsite needs.
- The versatile MT16 can be used for other roadway application, 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.
