Manhole boxes are designed to offer a quicker and easier method of supporting a four-sided excavation, such as the construction of a manhole chamber, rather than using trench sheets and hydraulic manhole brace frames.

Manhole shutters are designed to provide a quick and effective method of constructing circular formwork. Pro-Shore manhole shutters can be used primarily to create a uniform concrete surround around pre cast concrete manhole rings with differing panel sizes for different diameters joined together with a pin and wedge assembly system for ease of use.

The Pro-Shore Utility Trench Box is our most popular unit and is a light weight stackable system. The box is predominately used in applications where safety and weight is key.  The shoring system is developed for use with 2.5 to 5 tonne Mini excavators. It can also be used in a manual handling application for spot digs.

• Panel Sizes 1200mm x 1200mm
• Widths to suit various trench widths
• Perfect for Under Track Crossing, where safety is fundamental

They are excellent as a small manhandable unit, which can be assembled in minutes, then carried into restricted access areas. The Pro-Shore Utility Box is very popular with local councils, and routine maintenance work, they are suitable when working on all manner of utilities.

Drag boxes are designed to act as moveable shields to provide local support as trench drag boxes in ground conditions that are reasonably stable or self-supporting in the short term. Drag boxes are intended to be pulled along as the excavation progresses and come in various specifications including lightweight options.

Our ultimate aim is to meet the productivity, safety and cost demands of most of the UK’s market sectors whilst ensuring we meet our environmental obligations.
