Horseshoe Box

Efficient Shoring Solution for Open Terrain
The horseshoe box is specifically designed for shoring projects in open terrain with stable soil conditions. This system provides a safe and efficient method for pipe installation using the progressive installation method, after which it can be pulled further using the excavator bucket. By removing the top extension box, the base box can easily be pulled underneath cross pipes.
