The 200mm excavator bucket for the Rippa R10, R13 and R15 mini excavators is the precision attachment designed for digging narrow trenches — gas pipelines, underground electrical cables, fibre optics, water pipes and linear drainage installations require a controlled digging width that minimises the volume of soil excavated and the area of ground disturbed. The 200mm Rippa excavator bucket produces a trench of exact width, with straight walls and a flat bottom, ready for pipe laying without additional manual reworking.
Compared to the 1000mm bucket in the same Rippa series, the 200mm excavator bucket is the precision tool of utility installers and civil-construction crews working in crowded urban areas, on pavements, in gardens or inside buildings where working space is limited and the volume of excavated waste must be kept to a minimum.
The 200mm width corresponds to the standard trench width for medium-pressure gas pipelines, MV/LV electrical cables and fibre-optic networks, in accordance with the execution standards in force. Key advantages of the 200mm Rippa excavator bucket
• Width 200mm — the standard dimension for utility trenches — the 200mm excavator bucket corresponds to the trench widths prescribed by the standards for gas pipelines, electrical cables and fibre-optic networks. Digging at exactly the required width eliminates additional excavation volume, reduces the backfill material needed for reinstatement and minimises the area of ground or paving to be restored after the work is completed.
• Verified compatibility with Rippa R10, R13 and R15 — the 200mm excavator bucket is manufactured with the quick-coupler system specific to the Rippa series, directly compatible with all three models without adapters. Rippa mini excavators in the 1,0–1,8 tonne class are the usual machines for utility works in urban areas — the compact footprint allows access in narrow spaces and reduces traffic disruption during the works.
• Precise digging depth on narrow profiles — the 200mm excavator bucket allows reaching the standard laying depths of pipelines (60–120 cm for electrical cables, 80–150 cm for gas pipelines) in a single excavation cycle across the trench width, without additional widening passes and without the risk of affecting existing adjacent utilities.
• Straight walls and a flat trench bottom — the geometric profile of the 200mm Rippa excavator bucket produces a trench with a precise rectangular section, with vertical walls and a horizontal bottom. This geometry is the standard requirement of utility projects to ensure a uniform pipe-laying bed and for trench-protection formwork in unstable ground.
• High-strength steel — the structure of the 200mm excavator bucket is made of high-strength steel, with full-penetration welds at the stressed joints. The reduced width concentrates the digging forces over a smaller area, which increases the specific pressure on the cutting edge and allows penetration of compact soils or soils with fine gravel without accelerated wear of the structural steel.
• Industrial anti-corrosion paint — the anti-corrosion finish protects the 200mm excavator bucket against degradation in permanent contact with wet soil, groundwater and the chemical environments specific to contaminated urban ground. The service life of the finish is correlated with the intensity of use and the aggressiveness of the working soil.
• Fast changing between attachments — the standard Rippa quick-coupler system allows alternating between the 200mm excavator bucket for trenches and other attachments (1000mm cleaning bucket, hydraulic breaker) depending on the stage of the work, without special tools and without significant downtime.
• 60-month UZINEX warranty — extended coverage with spare parts in stock in Iași and national technical support.

Applications for the 200mm excavator bucket — utility and installation works
The 200mm Rippa excavator bucket is the reference attachment for all underground utility works in which the trench width is prescribed by standard or limited by site constraints.
Laying medium- and low-voltage electrical cables in urban areas is the most frequent application for the 200mm excavator bucket. Works extending the electrical network, replacing overhead cables with underground installations and connecting new buildings require trenches with a width of 200–250mm, at depths of 60–120cm. Rippa mini excavators equipped with the 200mm excavator bucket produce these trenches quickly and precisely, including on concrete or paved pavements, with minimal disturbance of the surrounding surface.
Installing medium-pressure natural-gas pipelines in residential and industrial areas requires trenches of controlled dimensions and a bottom prepared according to ANRE standards. The 200mm Rippa excavator bucket produces the trench at the correct width and depth, with a smooth bottom for the pipe's sand bed, eliminating manual reworking with a spade that would extend the duration of the work.
Fibre-optic networks for internet and telecommunications represent a rapidly growing market for microtrench works — narrow trenches of 150–250mm at depths of 40–80cm, over lengths of hundreds or thousands of metres in urban areas. The 200mm Rippa excavator bucket, mounted on the compact R10 or R13 mini excavator, allows rapid advance over long routes with minimal disturbance of the paving and pavements.
Linear drainage systems — gutters, agricultural drains, stormwater collection ditches in car parks and industrial areas — benefit from the precision of the 200mm excavator bucket for digging at the exact dimensions of the drain profile, without excessive excavation that would require costly backfill. The 200mm excavator bucket versus other widths in the Rippa series
The Rippa R10/R13/R15 series accepts buckets of different widths, each optimised for a specific type of work. The 200mm excavator bucket is the smallest common width in the series — intended exclusively for utility trenches and narrow installations where precision and minimising excess excavation take priority over the volume of material moved per cycle.
Compared to the 1000mm bucket available in the UZINEX catalogue for the same Rippa models, the 1000mm grading and cleaning bucket is the choice for surface works (terrain levelling, ditch cleaning, dredging), while the 200mm excavator bucket is the tool for depth and precision in narrow trenches. The two attachments complement each other on the equipment of a versatile Rippa mini excavator and are transferred quickly via the standard quick-coupler system.

What maximum depth can the 200mm excavator bucket dig on the Rippa R10?
The maximum digging depth of the 200mm excavator bucket is determined by the hydraulic parameters and the arm geometry of the Rippa R10, R13 or R15 mini excavator, not by the bucket itself. On the Rippa R10 (1t), the maximum excavation depth is approximately 1,6–1,8m depending on configuration — sufficient for most utility trenches. UZINEX engineers confirm the exact working depth for your model on request. Does the 200mm excavator bucket have teeth or a straight edge?
The 200mm Rippa excavator bucket LP0104010778 is available in the standard configuration — UZINEX engineers confirm the exact variant (with teeth for compact soils or with a straight edge for finishing) at quotation, depending on the predominant type of ground you work on. For trenches in gravel or compact clay ground, the toothed variant penetrates more efficiently; for loose soils or sand, the straight edge produces a cleaner profile. Can I use the 200mm excavator bucket on other brands of 1–1,5t mini excavators?
The 200mm excavator bucket LP0104010778 is manufactured with the Rippa coupling system. Mounting on other brands (Kubota, Yanmar, Komatsu, Bobcat, etc.) requires verifying pin compatibility and the geometry of the mounting ears — dimensions may differ even at the same tonnage. UZINEX engineers verify compatibility with your specific mini excavator on request. Is the 200mm Rippa excavator bucket available from stock?
