Trench Shoring Equipment:

For decades, we have had an exclusive agreement with Speed Shore, the world-leader and pioneer in trench shoring equipment. As the sole Speed Shore provider in Hawaii, AWP Safety offers customers the best trench shoring equipment in the industry. Our expansive equipment offering includes options for sale and rent, as well as standard and custom specifications.

Below are examples of equipment we have available:

Plates & ShieLds:

Steel Plates – standard and custom sizes available.
Shoring Shields – combine the benefits of aluminum hydraulic shoring with the solid-wall security of a static shield.
Aluminum Panel Shields – offer superior strength, with less weight and are specifically designed for municipalities, utility companies, plumbers and contractors who generally use a rubber-tired backhoe or light excavator.
Steel-framed Aluminum Panel Shields – aluminum panel shields with a rugged steel frame, creating an aluminum wall drag box, built to last.
Speed Shore’s Tuff Lite ™ Shields – durable shields designed specifically for contractors and municipalities who utilize lighter excavators, but require higher capacities for deeper trenches or poor soil conditions.
Steel Trench Shields – built to last, these shields are designed and certified by Registered Professional Engineers to optimize strength-to-weight ratios, while maintaining minimal sidewall thickness.
Manhole Shields (Special Order Only) – Designed for manhole installations with optional cutouts for incoming utilities.

Shores & Braces

End Shores – offers a wide variety of uses in most soil conditions; including not only shoring protection of the sidewalls of the trench, but also strength support so end loading can be accomplished and prevent cave-ins.
Aluminum Hydraulic Vertical Shores – safe and versatile means of shoring an excavation, allowing the excavator to operate at full digging capacity.
Manhole Braces – 4-way hydraulic shoring system specifically designed to shore excavations for manholes, vaults, bore pits, and tank installations.

Trench Systems

Modular Aluminum Panel Systems (MAPS) – trench shielding system engineered for high strength, ultra-low weight, and ease of handling; consisting of modular panels, end-members, and adjustable spreaders that can be quickly configured for 2, 3 or 4-sided applications.
Waler Systems – offering trench wall support in unstable soils, while also providing quick installation and removal from completely above ground which ensures personnel is safe from un-shored trenches.
Slide Rail Systems – modular high-capacity shoring system for use in the most difficult excavation scenarios. Double-walled steel panels slide into tracked rails as earth is excavated, virtually eliminating soil movement and loss of support encountered in typical open-cut excavations.

Specialty Items

Manguards (Special Order Only) – safety shields specifically designed for personnel protection during manhole installations, line taps, vault placements and point repairs.
Bedding Boxes (Special Order Only) – reduce the waste of expensive bedding material while maximizing equipment efficiency at the jobsite. The loader operator remains productive, with no wasted time waiting to load and place bedding material in the trench.
Speed Shore’s Rumble Grid™ – designed to help reduce the mud and rock on vehicles before they enter a public street or highway.
