Trench box hire from GAP Hire Solutions gives your team safe, reliable excavation support for drainage, utilities and groundworks. A trench box, also called a shoring box, is a pair of side panels held apart by struts that you lower into an excavation to support the trench walls and protect operatives working inside from collapse. Our trench shoring hire range includes backhoe trench boxes for excavation depths up to 2.9m with internal widths from 600mm to 2,400m, light and standard trench boxes with working widths from 620mm to 3,190mm, and standard and backhoe manhole boxes from 2.5m to 4.7m. For lighter work and tight urban sites, LITE aluminium manhole boxes support trenches up to 1.85m, and the LITE Guard City Box suits trench widths from 800mm to 1,900mm. Drag box hire is available in mini and maxi sizes for long pipe runs, and you can add edge protection and ladder access. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 require excavations of any depth to be assessed and protected where collapse is possible, so groundworkers and civils, drainage and utilities contractors hire our box systems for everything from shallow service trenches to deep manhole chambers. Trench box hire cost depends on the box type and size, trench depth, hire duration and delivery location, so contact your local GAP depot for a quote or book trench box hire online for fast delivery nationwide.
