Tube Steel Barriers (Edge Protection)

Our tube steel barriers are temporary edge protection systems designed to secure the perimeter of deep excavations. The barriers feature adjustable clamps that secure directly onto trench sheets, sheet piles, and our complete range of box systems to prevent falls from ground level and safely guide personnel access into the excavation.

Fully compliant with BS EN 13374 Class A safety standards, the barrier system is lightweight, highly durable, and rapid to install. It clearly highlights excavation boundaries, provides a rigid handrail for site operatives, and prevents loose materials from inadvertently falling into the work area.

Integrated Safety Access

Beyond edge protection, the system integrates seamlessly with our safety access ladders and gated platforms. Simply pin and clip the access unit onto the box channel to provide a safe, secure entry and exit route. For enhanced fall arrest or rescue requirements during confined space entry, the platform can be supplied with a Davit Arm Socket.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Universal Compatibility: Featuring adjustable clamp sizes, the system secures directly onto trench sheets, sheet piles, and all SEL shoring boxes (from our 2m Lightweight Trench Boxes up to our 6m Super Drag Boxes).
• Rapid Installation: Engineered for quick, effective clamping directly onto the box panels without requiring external framing.
