EasyDig® Modular Circular Trench Cage

EasyDig® Modular Circular Trench Cage System Complete underground utility repairs faster, safer, and with less restoration using the EasyDig® Modular Circular Trench Cage System. Designed specifically for hydrovac excavation and confined repair work, EasyDig provides a practical alternative to traditional trench boxes by creating a compact, circular excavation that minimizes surface disruption while maintaining a safe work environment. Unlike conventional shoring systems that often require large excavations, the EasyDig system allows crews to excavate only where it's needed. The modular design is lightweight, easy to transport, and quick to assemble, making it ideal for municipalities, utility contractors, water departments, and infrastructure maintenance crews performing repairs on curb stops, water mains, hydrants, valves, and other underground utilities. The EasyDig system is engineered to align with OSHA excavation standards and Australian shoring standards and features published tabulated data for proper application. Available in multiple diameter and depth configurations, each cage is built from modular sections weighing less than 50 pounds that connect together with four retaining clips, allowing crews to safely install the system as excavation progresses. Standard features include integrated ladder steps, lifting hooks, a storage/toolbox compartment, and QR code access to operating information and tabulated data. Why Choose EasyDig? Traditional trench boxes often require larger excavations, more restoration, additional equipment, and larger crews. EasyDig was designed to help reduce excavation size while improving efficiency during underground utility repairs. Benefits include Smaller excavation footprint Faster setup and installation Lightweight modular construction Reduced backfill and restoration Ideal for hydrovac excavation Engineered for utility maintenance applications Available in multiple diameter and depth configurations Proven in the Field EasyDig isn't just engineered for utility work—it's being used by municipalities to reduce labor, restoration, and project costs. According to the City of Saskatoon, switching to EasyDig helped: Reduce crew requirements from 7–9 workers to a hydrovac operator and two laborers Reduce typical curb stop replacement time from approximately 5 hours to about 3 hours Maintain a consistent 50-inch excavation that minimizes restoration Complete up to three replacements during a single workday Recover the system's purchase cost in approximately 4–5 uses through operational savings Standard Features Modular circular trench cage system Lightweight sections under 50 lbs Four-clip assembly design Integrated ladder steps Built-in lifting hooks Storage/toolbox compartment QR code for manuals and tabulated data Multiple diameter and depth configurations Engineered for utility repair applications Common Applications Water main repairs Curb stop repairs Fire hydrant repairs Valve maintenance Live tapping Utility service installations Hydrovac excavation Confined excavation projects Safety & Compliance EasyDig Circular Trench Cages are engineered to align with OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 Subpart P excavation requirements and AS4744.1-2000. Published tabulated data provides maximum allowable depths based on soil classifications, and annual certified condition assessments are recommended.
