Key Features:
-
Lightweight and Portable: Constructed from high-strength aluminium, these boxes are significantly lighter than traditional steel alternatives, reducing transportation and handling costs. The 2400 mm x 1965 mm unit weighs approximately 500 kg, making it manageable for lifting by excavators with a lifting capacity of 3 tonnes and above.
-
Stackable Configuration: The Manhole Boxes can be stacked to accommodate various excavation depths. By inverting one box on top of another and installing extension joiners, contractors can achieve greater depths without the need for additional equipment.
-
Enhanced Safety: Designed for 'dig and place' operations, these boxes eliminate the need for workers to enter the excavation, reducing the risk of accidents.
-
Versatile Applications: Ideal for contractors working on wet wells, manholes, and large-diameter pipes, the Manhole Boxes are suitable for use in various sectors, including utilities and municipal services.
