Steel Trench Boxes for Rent in Rhode Island
When roads or sidewalks are opened for trenching, safety becomes critical. At North East Shoring, we provide steel road plate rentals in Rhode Island to help contractors cover open trenches, maintain traffic flow, and protect crews and pedestrians.
Our steel trench plates are ready for quick delivery to any jobsite, whether you're cutting across a downtown street in Providence or trenching a utility line in Warwick. Each plate meets DOT safety standards and is maintained for strength and reliability.
Built for Heavy-Duty Excavation Safety
Steel trench boxes are made for jobs that demand strength. These boxes are built with solid steel walls, adjustable spreaders, and reinforced corners to withstand the pressure of deeper trenches, wet soils, and urban load zones.
They’re best suited for
- Deep utility installations
- Large-diameter pipe runs
- Long trench spans
- Jobs with high soil pressure or loose fill
Most importantly, steel boxes help your crew stay compliant with OSHA standards, protecting workers in the trench from wall collapse and shifting ground.
Our Steel Trench Box Inventory
We offer a range of standard-size steel road plates to accommodate different jobsite needs. All equipment is cleaned and inspected before delivery.
Our road plate features include:
- Common sizes such as 4x8, 5x10, 6x12 feet
- Beveled edges for smooth transitions and reduced tripping hazards
- Anti-skid surface coatings for improved traction
- DOT-compliant construction
- High load ratings for trucks and heavy machinery
If your jobsite requires a specific size or combination of plates, we can help you plan delivery and layout.
