The Trench Box

Product Code: trench001

O.S.H requires any excavation in excess of 1.50m in depth and where a suitable batter cannot be achieved is to be shored by an approved system. (see O.S.H-A.C.O.P for excavation and Shafts for Foundations. Click here)

The Trench Box System aka Trench Shields has been specially designed to safely and effectively support trenches up to 5.5m deep. With the Trench shields deeper excavations can be shored providing the safe working load is not exceeded. The unique integral 'post' construction allows for ground pressure up to 40 kpa. This enables work to be carried out in a variety of ground conditions without unnecessary intrusions in the work area. The strut end articulation permits the MP 40 System to be cut-in and moved into final position in the most unstable of ground conditions.

The MP 40 Contractors Box provides the ideal solution to your construction safety concerns. Its advanced Australian design can significantly improve your pipelaying productivity. The Contractors Box comes with fixed or adjustable end struts that can be specially manufactured or adjusted to suit customer requirements
