What is an aluminum trench box used for?

Aluminum trench boxes are used in excavation and construction projects to provide a safe working environment for crews working in trenches. These lightweight, durable boxes are placed inside trenches to prevent soil collapse, offering essential protection for workers during underground utility installation, pipe laying, and other excavations.

Are TSC aluminum trench boxes OSHA compliant?

Yes, all TSC aluminum trench boxes are fully OSHA compliant. Each box is designed to meet or exceed OSHA’s stringent safety requirements for trenching and excavation. Additionally, our boxes are engineer-certified to provide industry-leading protection, ensuring safety and compliance on every job site.

What sizes are available for aluminum trench boxes?

TSC offers a range of sizes for aluminum trench boxes to suit various project requirements. Standard box sizes typically range in length, width, and height to accommodate different trench depths and widths.

What are the advantages of using aluminum over steel trench boxes?

Aluminum trench boxes are significantly lighter than steel, making them easier to transport, handle, and install. This lighter weight does not compromise durability; aluminum trench boxes offer excellent strength and stability for most types of excavation. They are especially useful in projects where heavy lifting equipment may not be available, allowing more efficient setup and reduced labor costs.

Can aluminum trench boxes be stacked?

Yes, aluminum trench boxes can be stacked to increase the height of the protective system, accommodating deeper trenching requirements. TSC offers stacking kits and additional accessories to safely and securely stack boxes according to OSHA guidelines, ensuring maximum stability and safety during deep excavations.

How do I know what size trench box I need?

The appropriate trench box size depends on factors such as trench width, depth, and soil type. To determine the best fit, consider your project’s trench dimensions and load requirements. If you’re unsure, our TSC team can help assess your project needs and recommend a box size that ensures compliance, efficiency, and safety for your excavation site.
