Trench boxes

British trench shoring practices demand more from a trench box compared to those in other parts of the world. Unlike many European sites where trench boxes remain in place throughout the project, British construction sites typically utilise them in a leapfrog style system, requiring frequent installation and removal. This method, particularly when using dig-and-push techniques, places significant stress on the trench box, making durability a critical factor.

Key Features:

  • Designed for British Standards: Engineered specifically for the demands of UK trench shoring practices.
  • Enhanced Durability: Reinforced to withstand repeated installation and removal, even under aggressive dig-and-push methods.
  • Rapid Assembly: Features an easy-to-use pin system for quick and efficient setup.
  • Versatile Compatibility: Works seamlessly with top boxes, manhole boxes, and edge protection systems.
  • Extensive Size Options: Offers flexibility to suit a wide range of excavation projects.
  • Exceeds Compliance Standards: Meets and exceeds both European and British Standards for trench safety.
