What Is the Difference Between Steel and Aluminum Trench Boxes?

Trench boxes come in two different metals — steel and aluminum. The core difference between steel and aluminum trench boxes is their purpose or intended use. Typically, a lightweight aluminum trench box is better suited to smaller, shallower trenches, while heavy-duty steel shoring boxes are suitable for larger and deeper ground excavation projects.

When deciding whether a steel or aluminum trench box is best for the job, check the manufacturer’s tabulated data to learn more about its intended use. The tabulated data includes tables, charts and safety instruction information about the product from the manufacturer. The tabulated data will specify the conditions, configurations and depth in which you can use the trench box. Referencing this information is crucial as OSHA does not permit contractors to use a safety system apart from its intended purpose to protect workers.
