Overview

Save time and money on your next project with Mabey’s lightweight trench box Ultra Shields. Ultra-lightweight and ultra-strong, the design provides simple manoeuvrability around worksites without compromising the shield’s rated capacity. This makes it the perfect shoring solution for a range of jobs.

The Ultra Shield’s lightweight properties also help improve onsite safety. Because they’re lighter and easier to move, they’re safer to use in built-up working areas. This ensures cleaner movements with lightweight machinery.

Our lightweight shoring is quick to install in any work environment. The simple strut and pin assembly process shortens your trench shoring setup time, allowing you to save time and get on with the real job at hand.

Mabey’s lightweight trench box has revolutionised trench shoring on smaller jobs. While it offers incredible versatility, it also provides reliable strength – withstanding up to 70kPa. In many cases, Mabey’s Ultra Shields are often as strong as – but up to half the weight of – competitor’s traditional steel boxes.
