Trench Box

A trench box is generally the first choice for the rapid shoring of trench runs due to the speed and simplicity of installation. They are typically suitable for use in trenches up to 4.9m wide x 6.6m deep in reasonable ground conditions, they are not recommended in unmanaged, waterlogged ground. Groundforce offer a wide range of trench box sizes with various strut types, providing a safe solution on site. A trench box is versatile, cost-effective and provide an excellent way of protecting workers from excavation wall collapse while carrying out groundworks. They can easily be stacked and used in multiple runs, which also makes them the ideal shoring method for continuously supporting an extended length of trench. Some of the key benefits are:

Manhole Box

A manhole box is similar to a trench box in it's basic function, but they incorporate integral end return panels for extra ground support when placing pre-cast manhole rings, as an alternative to sheets and frames. There are five available sizes catering to common manhole ring sizes. They can be quickly assembled and installed without an operator needing to enter the unsupported excavation, supporting trenches up to 5.5m using the base module and various struts. Ideal for most ground conditions.
