Description
6′ x 10′ ESC ASF4 Steel-Framed Aluminum Trench Box
The ESC ASF4 6′ x 10′ steel-framed aluminum trench box combines a steel frame with aluminum panels to provide a durable trench box for utility, construction, and excavation work. Its 6-foot height and 10-foot length provide a compact protected work area for localized utility excavations where additional shield height is needed without the footprint of a longer trench box.
The ASF4 6×10 has a 1,337 PSF panel capacity and weighs approximately 3,800 lbs. It provides 36 inches of pipe clearance and 100 inches (8′4″) of length between the spreaders.
Manufacturer data provides maximum depth ratings of 33 feet in B-45 soil, 25 feet in C-60 soil, and 20 feet in C-80 soil, subject to the manufacturer’s tabulated data, proper shield configuration, and evaluation by the project’s competent person.

6′ x 10′ ESC ASF4 Price and Spreader Configuration
The 6′ x 10′ ESC ASF4 Steel-Framed Aluminum Trench Box is priced at $12,080 and comes standard with four 36″ spreaders. This configuration provides a complete trench shield setup ready for assembly and use.
Other spreader sizes are available to accommodate different trench widths and jobsite requirements. Contact Iron Lot for available spreader options, pricing, and assistance selecting the appropriate configuration for your excavation.
Applications
The 6′ x 10′ ASF4 provides a compact protected work area with a 6-foot shield height. Its combination of height and relatively short overall length can make it useful for localized utility excavations where a longer trench shield would be unnecessary or more difficult to position. Potential applications include:
- Utility tie-ins, tees, crosses, and service connections
- Valve and meter vault installation
- Spot repairs to underground utilities
- Localized water and sewer work
- Utility exposure and maintenance
- Bore pits and receiving pits
- Street, easement, and congested jobsite excavations
Suitability depends on the actual excavation and the dimensions of the pipe, structure, utility component, and equipment involved. Contractors should verify required working clearances and the manufacturer’s allowable shield configuration before use.
Steel-Framed Aluminum Construction
The ESC ASF4 series combines aluminum panels with a steel frame, providing contractors with an alternative to conventional all-steel trench shields. At approximately 3,280 lbs, the 6×10 requires appropriately rated equipment for transportation, installation, repositioning, and removal. Contractors should consider both equipment lifting capacity and operating radius when handling the shield.
Safety and Proper Use
Trench shields must be selected and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s current tabulated data and all applicable OSHA, state, and local excavation-safety requirements. A competent person must evaluate soil conditions, excavation depth, surcharge loads, groundwater, adjacent structures, equipment configuration, and changing jobsite conditions.
The maximum depth ratings shown above should not be used by themselves to determine whether this shield is appropriate for a particular excavation. Refer to the applicable ESC tabulated data for complete requirements, limitations, and allowable configurations.
