When trench work happens in tight or shallow spaces, contractors need a solution that’s light, fast, and OSHA compliant. That’s where aluminum trench boxes come in. Northeast Shoring provides modular aluminum trench shields built for Rhode Island jobsites where space is limited and safety still matters.
Whether you’re installing water lines in a residential area or trenching next to a sidewalk in Providence, our aluminum boxes give you reliable protection without heavy machinery.
Aluminum trench boxes are designed for flexibility. These systems are lighter than steel shields but still provide the wall support needed to keep workers safe during excavation. They’re perfect for narrow trenches, utility hookups, and projects with limited machine access.
Use aluminum trench boxes when:
Every aluminum box we rent meets OSHA standards and is easy to assemble with basic tools or by hand. Your team stays safe and your project stays on track.
We maintain a ready-to-deploy fleet of modular aluminum trench shields. Our systems are cleaned, inspected, and prepped before every delivery.
Available features include:
These boxes are ideal for utility line tie-ins, short-run service laterals, and access repairs where excavation is limited in space or depth.
Aluminum trench boxes are a favorite among smaller excavation crews and sub-contractors who need reliable trench safety without oversized equipment.
