Drag Box
Introduction
Assemble
Health and safety legislation states that construction equipment users should formulate a
site specific Safe System of Work to undertake any work they are planning. This brochure was
designed to oer basic instruction of Shoring Equipment Systems including the assembly,
installation and extraction of the Drag Box. The correct sizes and weights of the components will
also be shown so that use of equipment can be planned ahead. It is necessary that users enforce
the appropriate safety practices of excavations and trenching throughout installation.
The users of Shoring Equipment should be familiar, confident and competent when handling
and installing boxes and accessories. Altrad Generation Hire and Sale excavation systems can be
supplied with a full range of additional safety products including ladder access and guardrails as
well as various other ancillary products. These products are designed to act in accordance with
the practice of Shoring Equipment and meet the requirements of the Lifting Operations & Lifting
Equipment Regulations, Work at Height Regulations and the Confined Spaces Regulations.
Personnel should make themselves aware that certain conditions such as the close proximity
of structures, site roads, railways and excavated materials near the trench can all increase
surrounding earth pressures. If in doubt please seek advice.
For additional details please contact your local Altrad Generation Hire and Sale branch.
