Modular Aluminium Panel Box (MAP Box)

The MAP Box is a lightweight modular box system that can be assembled by hand and handled by a 180 degree rubber tyred excavator. Using just three main components: panels, struts and corner posts, the system provides great versatility by allowing 2, 3, and 4 sided support as the job demands. Box weights start as low as 240kg for 2- sided configurations. The portability and ease of handling make the system ideal for emergency uses where rapid response and limited working space rule out heavier equipment.
