The MT12 MicroTrencher slices through asphalt to create the ideal trench for fiber-optic cable installation.
The Ditch Witch® MT12 MicroTrencher offers underground contractors a highly cost-effective solution for installing fiber-optic cable along paved rights-of-way. With its unique saw blades, the MT12 cleanly slices through asphalt to create the ideal trench for this application in one quick, efficient pass. The MT12 is part of a complete microtrenching system, the components of which are all designed and manufactured by the Ditch Witch organization to work together with unbeatable efficiency.

Features
- Part of a complete Ditch Witch microtrenching system that includes a specially configured Ditch Witch RT45 or RT55 trencer and an FX60 vacuum excavator equipped with a cyclonic separator to handle the dry, dusty spoils produced by microtrenching.
- Each of the MT12's four saw blades is specially designed and manufactured by the Ditch Witch organization to cut precise, narrow trenches in asphalt in one quick, efficient pass.
- Blades can be easily changed in the field with standard hand tools, reducing downtime.
- MT12 creates the ideal trench for fiver-optic cable installation - from 0.75in (19mm) to 1.25in (32mm) wide, and up to 12in (305 mm) deep.
- The narrow, small trench created by the MT12 enables contractors to install fiber above existing utilities with minimal disruption of surrounding infrastructure, saving time and money.
- Trenching depth is mechanically adjustable - from 6in (152 mm) to 12in (305mm) in one inch increments - to help maintain a consisten dept for the entire length of the trench.
- The MT12 can be manually tilted 6 degrees to the right or left, which helps the operator maintain a true vertical trench on uneven surfaces.
- MT12 saw is designed to hydraulically traverse 24in (610 mm) from the center fo the machine to the right, for trenching next to curbs and gutters.
- The FX60 Vacuum excavator, which can be positioned either in front of the trencher or to the rear, removes spoils as they are created by the saw blade, reducing cleanup time and labor expense.
- MT12 can also be equipped with onboard chutes that deposit spoils along the side of the trench, for easy cleanup.
- Versatile MT12 MicroTrencher can be used for other roadway applications, including:
- Cutting expansion joints
- Utility repair EG. Sawing square sections of roadway prior to excavation
- Maintenance EG. Trimming the rugged edges of new layers of asphalt to make a clean shoulder
