Trench Boxes  

MGF manufacture and supply three sizes of Trench Box (Mini, Standard and Titan) to suit a wide variety of trench depths, pipe diameters and ground conditions. Varying trench depths are accommodated using top sections connected to the base units. An extensive range of trench widths is catered for using a range of adjustable struts, which enable quick and easy width adjustment of the trench boxes. All boxes are fabricated to suit the rigorous working environment that they are used in to minimise any potential damage.

MGF Mini Boxes are strong, lightweight units, which can be easily handled by the smaller range of excavators. Mini Boxes are ideal for shallower trenches and can carry one box top to give a maximum trench depth of 3.1m.

MGF Standard Boxes are the most versatile box in the range and are ideally suited for situations where a variety of trench depths, widths and ground conditions are likely to be encountered. The Standard Box can be handled by the more typical range of excavators and can carry a maximum of two box tops to give a maximum trench depth of 5.7m.

The MGF Titan Box has been introduced into our range to meet the market demands for a box suited to deep excavations in adverse ground conditions. The Titan Box can carry a maximum of one box top to give a maximum trench depth of 5.5m.
