EAW Trench Shield Manhole Boxes are aluminium trench shields designed for use with manholes, pits and pump stations. The lighter 2 metre box is suitable for a 3 tonne excavator, while the larger boxes need an excavator with a lifting capacity of 6 tonne and upwards.
The EAW Trench Shield Manhole Box is also available and manufactured under licence in the UK. If you're in the UK and after a lightweight trench shoring solution for working with manholes, pits and pump stations check out our Manhole Boxes.
