Key Features:

  • Optimized Design: The City Box's narrow panels allow for maximum trench width with minimal backfill, reducing material costs and excavation time. 

  • Enhanced Load Capacity: Designed for 'dig and place' operations, these boxes feature narrow panel walls with impressive working load limits of 30 kN/m² and 45 kN/m².

  • Compact and Lightweight: With panel thickness reduced to 60 mm per side, the City Box offers a full-size trench shield experience. Assembled weights are 445 kg and 535 kg, making them suitable for lifting by 3.0 to 7.0 tonne excavators.

  • Versatile Sizing and Stacking: Available in two sizes—2400 mm x 2400 mm and 3000 mm x 1800 mm—the boxes can be stacked two units deep by inverting one box on top of another and installing extension joiners, enhancing their adaptability to various excavation depths.

  • Ideal Applications: Perfect for use by plumbers, drainage contractors, ground workers, councils, utility companies, and sectors dealing with sewer, water, gas, electricity, and communications.
