Description

Shore Hire’s Aluminium Vertishores are the quickest, simplest and safest method of shoring a trench or excavation and contribute to major cost savings for our clients time and again through their lightning-fast setup and installation time and their compact and easy-to-transport size.

Aluminium Vertishores work by supporting the side walls of a trench through the use of hydraulic pressure or ‘soil arching’. Built from lightweight aluminium alloy, vertical shores provide portability and strength advantages and prevent cave-ins within all but the most unstable soil conditions. They are quick and simple to use and can be installed safely by one person from beside the top of the trench using a hydraulic hand pump, with gauged pressure ensuring even load allocation to walls.

This simple method of installation means the trench is safely shored up while the excavator continues to dig at full capacity, thereby maximising efficiency and productivity on your job site. The system also maximises workspace in the trench and allows for crossing services and utilities to be easily worked around, making it one of our most popular shoring systems on offer.

*Plywood/sheeting may be incorporated into engineered designs, please contact us for more information.

Suited For

Aluminium Vertishores are designed for the shoring of vertical trenches as well as tricky and uniquely sized excavations. They can be used for spot bracing, production trenching and offer versatility when restrictions are imposed by space or crossing utilities. In stable soils, Aluminium Vertishores can be used directly against a trench face instead of requiring sheeting.

Aluminium Vertishores are an amazing option for general construction and utilities contractors, with the flexibility to use a range of different sizes and lengths.

Should you require advice, we always recommend you speak to our technical sales team before any hire.
