Trench BoxesTrench Boxes are used for rapid shoring of trench runs. These, together with Drag Boxes and Manhole Boxes, provide a quick and easy way of holding the ground stable in a trench without the need to use any other shoring equipment.

The Aluminium Trench Shield is perfect for shielding trenches where the excavation is being undertaken with small excavators which do not have the lifting capacity to work with standard, heavier trench box systems.

Both the aluminium trench shields and boxes meet all the safety requirements of the British & European standards.

All major components of the aluminium shoring systems have handling and lifting points for safe slinging.

• Lightweight without compromising safety

• Improved productivity

• Lower machine costs

• 800mm clearance under struts when fitted with High Clearance Struts (360mm with standard)

The System 20 Backhoe Box is designed for use with small excavators with limited lifting capacity.

The Mini Trenchbox is a strong, lightweight unit, making it ideal for use in small excavations.

It is perfect for the installation of sewers and other utility services to depths of up to 3.50m. The Mini Trenchbox can be installed and removed by just one operative in conjunction with the excavator.

• Lightweight without compromising safety

• Improved productivity

• Lower machine costs

• 1.2m clearance under bottom strut

• Full range of accessories allows greater versatility in applications

KS60 Mini Trenchbox

The Rolling Strut Box is similar to a conventional trenchbox, but with the added advantage of struts which are vertically adjustable on rollers, providing increased clearance of up to 3.2m below the struts.

Variable, easily adjustable strut positions allow longer pipe runs to be installed in the trench by adjusting the strut positions in adjacent boxes and therefore the Rolling Strut Box maximises effective man hours on site.

• Improved visibility whilst digging

• High load capacity

• Install panels at different invert levels for stepped excavations

Trench Sheeting andLight PilingTrench sheets and light piling are used to support the ground at the sides of trenches and excavations. The strength, speed and flexibility of light sheet piling makes it ideal for all forms of temporary and permanent works.

Our range of trench sheets are designed to cover a wide spread of uses in both temporary and permanent works.

All our trench sheeting sections have a top lifting hole. In addition, all sections (apart from the M6 profile) have a secondary lower hole for use with piling hammer/extractor safety chains.

• Overlapping suitable for a wide range of applications from digging and placing of short sheets in shallow excavations, to full driving in deep excavations

• Interlocking suitable for applications from shallow riverbank protection to deep, large area cofferdams

• All sections are well matched for use with our hydraulic support systems

• Also available are tie-bars and anchor piles

Q-Kap is an award nominated universal trench sheet driving tool.

Fitting directly to the quick hitch on the excavator, whilst also allowing a Quick Release Shackle to be fitted to the dipper arm, Q-Kap eliminates the need for working at height when positioning a traditional drive cap.

• Two sizes available

• Suitable for all trench sheet profiles

• Increased productivity as no time is spent repositioning

Our Excavator Mounted Vibrators are suitable for driving and extracting a range of Mabey sheeting and piling.

The Piling Attachment Services’ dedicated field services team ensure safe and efficient on-site installation of hammers to all common variants of excavator.

Compact, robust and reliable, our hammers can be attached to the excavator either directly to boom or via a range of quick hitch adaptor brackets.

• Emits extremely low levels of vibration back to the excavator

• Minimal height to maximise pile length

• High power to weight ratio

• Automatic hydraulic clamp operation

• No electrics required

Augers provide the perfect solution when driving into difficult ground conditions.

Augering breaks up the soil, effectively turning cohesive soil into non-cohesive soil, enabling vibratory hammers to be used where impact hammers would otherwise be required.

The Auger is fitted in exactly the same way as the Excavator Mounted Vibrator, utilising the same excavator which reduces transport costs significantly, along with the need for crane equipment.

Extractor Plus is a simple innovation in health and safety and available exclusively from Mabey. It is fitted with a secondary safety device which is independent of the main attachment point. The secondary safety chain ensures that risks associated with incorrect attachment, damage to the wing screw or other failure of the extractor will not result in the trench sheet becoming detached from the extractor.

Quick Release Shackles

Drive Caps

Quick Release Shackles are used for lifting single trench sheets or light piles into position prior to driving.

We have a range of Drive Caps available for all sheets and light piles. They protect the top of a trench sheet during installation.

No working at height is required because of a rope attachment that allows a shackle to be released from ground level.

• Storable in wet areas for long periods - avoids degradation and weight increase due to absorption of water

• Wide range of simple and easy to use connections

• Unique chevron traction surface avoiding slippage of plant and vehicles

• Simple lug design for ease of lifting and positioning the mats

• Lighter than aluminium or timber mats

• Double sided with a different traction surface on each side, providing maximum safety and grip for different uses

LIVEsite (www.mabeylivesite.co.uk) is the web portal and software package developed in-house by our engineers and is only available through Mabey. LIVEsite has been designed to provide users with clear, easy to use navigation, standard and configurable views and reports. Mabey engineers will preconfigure your LIVEsite portal as part of the system setup process. You can specify how you would like to see the data presented and what parameters need to be set. Three stage trigger levels can be added with set value thresholds. Once these thresholds are breached, an email is automatically generated to nominated users. These alert emails are also sent to Mabey engineers, who can also interrogate the data and advise accordingly.


Based out of 8 depots, our engineering teams are there to provide expert technical support to you on a diverse range of projects anywhere in the UK.

Our engineers and technical sales teams are happy to work in close conjunction with you and your teams on any project, regardless of scale or complexity, and all have extensive practical experience.

Many organisations simply provide the product necessary to complete the job. But at Mabey, every day, our team of professionally qualified engineers work closely with you to develop, design and install solutions, as well as providing site support for the most challenging bridging and temporary works projects.

• Expert teams on hand to assist with your scheme requirements

• Teams based regionally so always local to your site
