Trench Box Hire - Mini, Standard & Mega Multi Trench Boxes

Groundforce offer a wide range of trench box sizes with various strut types, providing a safe solution on site. Trench boxes are 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:

Medium duty trench support
The Mini Box can be used in trenches up to 4.0m deep in conjunction with up to two top extension boxes, subject to the maximum panel pressure not being exceeded
The Standard Box can be used in trenches up to 5.2m deep in conjunction with up to two top extension units, subject to the maximum panel pressure not being exceeded
Trench width possible from 0.7m to 4.9m
Hand rail and laddersafe panels available
Four way handling point to aid safe assembly

Trench boxes are 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.

We offer a wide range of trench box sizes, including the Mini Trench Box, the Standard Trench Box, and the Multi Mega Trench Box.

Our trench boxes are designed to be installed quickly and easily. The extension boxes can be added to achieve deeper trenches, up to a maximum of two top boxes. They can be installed in either pre-dug trench in stable ground or by progressive 'dig & push' method. Read more of the benefits of Trench Boxes here.

Trench Boxes: Typical Installation Methodology

This quick and easy method ensures ground stability within a trench and helps minimise the excavation area to avoid damage to neighbouring structures and utilities in the ground. This methodology is best suited for trench boxes with shorter struts, if you use a trench box with long struts then other methods may be more suited, if you have any questions on different methods you can use contact our technical department.
