Increased Efficiency
Light, Fast, and Built for the Bottom Line
- Built-In Knife Edge for Easy Pulling: Our boxes feature a sharp, rugged knife edge along the bottom. Instead of plowing into the dirt and fighting the trench walls, the box slices cleanly through the soil. This significantly reduces drag, making it incredibly easy for your equipment to pull and slide the box through the cut.
- Drastically Reduces Backfill and Restoration Costs: Because the knife edge cuts cleanly and the box maintains a tight, precise profile, you minimize cave-ins and over-excavation. You don't have to waste time, labor, and money filling a massive, blown-out trench. Less dirt out means less backfill in, directly lowering your material costs and paving/restoration expenses.
- Maximized Machine Efficiency: Because our boxes are lightweight aluminum, you don’t need a massive, fuel-guzzling 30-ton excavator just to slide a box in the dirt. Your smaller, more versatile jobsite equipment can handle them with ease, freeing up your heavy iron for serious production.
- Rapid, Tool-Free Assembly: Time is money, especially during tight reconstruction windows. Kundel boxes feature intuitive, high-strength pin-and-keeper systems. Your crew can assemble, adjust, or reconfigure the box right on the side of the ditch in minutes—no specialized tools required.
- Uncompromising OSHA Compliance: Lightweight doesn't mean weak. Every Kundel box is strictly engineered and certified to meet or exceed OSHA shoring standards. You get bulletproof cave-in protection and peace of mind during any surprise jobsite inspection.
Built-In Internal Shelving & Tool Pockets
Instead of a basic flat wall, Kundel forms the internal aluminum skin with strategic bends and folds. This increases the structural integrity of the box and creates built-in internal shelves. Your crew can keep expensive grade lasers, targets, levels, and hand tools clean, dry, and off the muddy floor of the trench.
Patented Pin-Less Design
Traditional boxes rely on tedious assembly pins and keepers that constantly get dropped, lost, or packed with mud. Kundel's innovative pin-less panel connection system eliminates the aggravation. It allows for lightning-fast assembly and disassembly right on the side of the ditch, saving hours of downtime across a project.
