Mini loader attachments for utility exposure and backfill
Microtrenching operations require specialized support equipment for utility exposure and trench restoration. The new Vermeer core saw attachment provides precise cutting capability for exposing existing utilities or creating clean edges in concrete and asphalt surfaces. Featuring single-man operation with simplified controls and accommodating 4-inch to 18-inch (10.2-cm to 45.7-cm) bits, the Vermeer core saw attachment helps contractors work safely around existing infrastructure while maintaining the precision necessary for fiber installation.
For backfill operations, the new Vermeer concrete reinstatement attachment prepares mortar, grout or concrete for trench reinstatement. The attachment features an adjustable trench filler that minimizes the amount of slurry spilled outside the trench and includes a hydraulic gate for controllability of flow. Proper backfill is essential for long-term pavement integrity and supports contractors in meeting municipal requirements for surface restoration.
“Mini loaders offer unique advantages in tight spaces where larger equipment can’t operate effectively,” said Cole Chestnut, product manager for compact equipment solutions. “The Vermeer core saw and concrete mixer attachments help contractors maintain productivity even in the most challenging urban job sites where space is at a premium.”
Vacuum solutions for dust and spoil management
Effective dust and spoil management are critical considerations for microtrenching operations. Vermeer offers a range of vacuum excavators engineered for general cleanup and to help crews control dust in urban environments.
Meeting infrastructure demands with proven reliability
The push to expand fibre networks continues to accelerate as demand for high-speed internet grows. For contractors working in dense urban environments, this presents the familiar challenge of meeting connectivity needs without extensive surface disruption or lengthy restoration work.
Vermeer microtrenching solutions address these challenges through equipment designed specifically for urban applications. The narrow, shallow trench approach reduces cutting requirements and minimizes backfill needs while maintaining the precision necessary for fibre installation work.
“Contractors need equipment that can handle tough conditions day after day,” said Olsen. “We’ve leveraged our experience with utility installation equipment to build microtrenching solutions that offer enhanced durability and maintain cutting performance, even in challenging conditions.”
