what do you people recommend for trench boxes.

we have been use speed shore shoring. it works pretty good but takes a bit of muscle to move.

We have a 8'x18', I think it is a Safety Box. We also have (2) 4'x16' boxes. Not sure who made them.

depends on what you're doing....if you're laying sewer pipe, i'd go with a 20' box. pipe manufacturers have gone from 12.5' laying lengths...to 14'....doesn't leave enough room in a 16' box to lay pipe if you have the wrong conditions.

what if you are laying 20' lengths?
