The BV100 Standard Trench Box is one of the strongest two-sided trench boxes on the market and the most advanced in its class for ease of adjustment. With a simple pin and clip system, the BV100 delivers fast, accurate setup for operatives working in time-critical groundworks and pipe-laying environments.
This steel trench box withstands ground pressures of up to 39.70kN/m2, making the BV100 trench box for groundworks suitable for demanding excavation conditions. Effective to a working depth of 6.50m (provided ground pressure does not exceed the rated SWL), the BV100 offers one of the deepest working envelopes in its category. Up to two extension boxes add onto the standard unit to reach additional depth when your project demands it.
BV100 trench box hire is available across the UK and Ireland, and the product integrates directly with manhole boxes for combined trench and chamber installations on the same site. The dig and push installation method keeps operatives away from unsupported ground during setup.
