Trench Shoring

	ALUMINUM TRENCH SHIELDS - AEX SERIES Features: Easy to set up Stores compacity Interchangeable components Cylinders feature oversleeve protection and safety bleed-off port Can be used with or without sheeting, according to soil conditions Complete manufacturer's tabulated data and installation/removal procedures are provided Lightweight aluminum alloy construction for both exceptional durability and easy portability All vertical shores are certified by a registered professional engineer to meet OSHA standards Molded plastic pump bucket delivers 50% more volume per stroke than a comparable steel pump bucket Installation/Removal: Special tools enable you to quickly and easily install or remove the vertical shores. GME 2AEX Shields: The GME 2AEX Shield is an aluminum extruded sheild with a slim 2" wall that comes standard with a tough T-6 Knife edge and rugged top cap. Massive, extruded end members ensure strength. Available in lengths to 12-feet, it is sized for rubber-tired backhoes and priced competitively. Options: Pullbar No-knife edge End loading struts 5" Schedule 80 pipe Screw-jack type struts Lifiting eyes and bridle Standard square-box tubing struts Certified by a registered professional engineer to meet OSHA standards ***Standard features include Knife Edge and Top Cap!*** GME Vertical Shores: Designed to prevent cave-ins in all but the most unstable soil conditions by supporting the side walls of the trench through the use of hydraulic pressure.
	BEDDING BOXES Confine bedding material to the container, minimizing loss of material. Light Duty Bedding Boxes: The BL4, BL7 and BL9 Light Duty are designed for use with lighter machinery. The top frame is further strengthened by an inner core of hardwood. It is constructed of 3/16" plate at the ends and sides and 3/8" plate on the bottom and a 44" profile is standard on these boxes. Standard Duty Bedding Boxes: BS5, BS7, BS8 and BS9. The Standard unit features rugged steel welded construction, fully reinforced at all points of stress. The top frame is further strengthened by an inner core of hardwood. The unit is constructed of 1/4" sides and ends, and the bottom surface is smooth; fabricated of 1/2" steel plate, with wear strips on the inside to guard against damage by bucket teeth. Low 44" profile allows dump truck to fill the box from the either end or side. Heavy Duty Bedding Boxes: BH9, BH12 and BH15. The BH Heavy Duty box is just right for use with heavy machinery. The top frame is further strengthened by an inner core of hardwood. It is constructed of 3/8" plate at sides and ends and 1/2" plate on the bottom. Wear strips are on the inside bottom and a 44" profile are standard on the heavy duty box. The clean sweep end and corners are reinforced for that extra toughness often required for many construction needs. Apparatus "B" Option: The Apparatus "B" option, available on all models of the GME bedding box, makes repositioning the box easy and quick. It is reinforced and fully welded at all stress points and gussets have been added for extra strength.
	MANHOLE SHIELDS Available in 4" single and double wall, octagonal and 4-side along with any special size to meet your job requirement needs. Our MH Series made of high tensile steel, are heavier and are rated for deeper jobs. The square manhole configuration surrounds the pit and provides the needed inside clearspan while reducing the amount of excavation and restoration required. They assemble in minutes at the jobsite. Standard models include two walls, two spreaders assembilies, eight holding pins and keepers. All are certified by a professional engineer to meet OSHA standards.
	ROUND MANHOLE SHIELDS Made with corrugated steel for lightweight shoring. Available in 8' and 10' diameters with great depth ratings. Specially designed for personal protection during manhole installations and repair work. High strength steel walls, welded securely to ridgid steel top and bottom framing. Optional replaceable cut-outs allow for handling with rubber-tired backhoes, yet provide maximum protection for workers in the hole.
	SLIDE RAIL SYSTEM Fast, easy assembly Exact alignment in the trench Great performance at all depths Minimal site restoration required Certified to meet OSHA Requirements For pits, tank installations, pipeline jobs and more Patented open track system lets you swing panels into place for safer, easier assembly This unique modular system is especially useful when the jobsite is impacted by adjacent structures such as buildings or retaining walls or when vehicle traffic is adjacent to the excavation. As the system is installed, the machine operator is able to dig deep while keeping soil tight to the modular panels and rails. This method effectively reduces soil subsidence typical to excavations employing other shorng systems such as trench shields. Similary, a contractor can frequently do his work safely and efficiently while allowing vehicle traffic to continue adjacent to the work site itself.
