Description

Shore Hire’s extensive range of robust steel shoring boxes are ideal for the majority of light to medium-weight shoring applications. Coming in 3m, 4m, 6m variations with a huge range of struts to choose from, the red steel shoring box is one of our most popular products for a reason.

Coming with both lower and upper sections, Shore Hire’s steel shoring box allows for vast and varying depths and can be connected together using panel connectors to build boxes as tall as required. The knife-edge panels allow for dig and push installations in sandy conditions, and the foam-filled sections resist water infiltration inside panels. Shore Hire’s steel trench boxes also come with reinforced steel corners for less equipment damage during installation which means fewer costs and headaches for contractors on site when using this gear.
