Modular Aluminium Panel Box (MAP Box)

About Modular Aluminium Panel Box (MAP Box)

The MAP (Modular Aluminium Panel) Box is a lightweight aluminium modular box system that can be assembled by hand and handled on sites by small excavators. Using just three main components - panels, struts and corner posts - the MAP system can be configured to provide either 2, 3 or 4-sided support offering the user great versatility on site. Being predominantly of aluminium construction, an assembled box can weigh as little 243kg, whilst providing the strength of a conventional steel trench box.

It is extremely verstile which, combined with its low weight and high strength characteristics, makes it ideal for handling and installation in challenging ground or where space is limited.

Benefits

Modular aluminium panels
Strong, yet lightweight
Range of sizes and configurations
Easy to assemble and install
