The JVB Backhoe Trench Box from Altrad Generation is a robust safety shield designed for excavation and pipe laying work below ground level. The two-sided system supports trench walls in self-supporting to moderate ground conditions, providing a safe working area for operatives throughout the installation process.
Rated to 20kN/m2, the JVB is available as a 3000mm x 2000mm base unit weighing 730kg, with widths adjustable from 720mm to 1720mm. The base unit provides 1200mm of clearance below the strut, and extension tops (3000mm x 1000mm) are available for increased depth. Assembly uses a pin and R-clip system for fast on-site setup.
Installed using the Dig and Push method, the JVB Backhoe Trench Box is available for hire and purchase from Altrad Generation branches across the UK and Ireland.
