 ADVANTAGES FOR BETTER
PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD:

  • Unique keyed locking pin requires no keepers--so it's faster and easier to use, with fewer parts to lose.
  • The screw in jack strut features a shallow square thread design and is coated with a special rust inhibitor which wipes clean with a rag, for smoother performance. Most competitive screw jack struts have deep V-grooves that are difficult to clean.

Lite Shield Options

Knife Edge

Add some "bite' to your Lite-Shield Trench System. Touch, extruded T-6 knife edges are now available as an option. Knife edges make the Lite-Shield much more effective when digging in soft, wet, silty or sandy material. Available on 6', 8', 10' & 12' panels.

PullBar

The Pullbar option is intended to aid the back hoe operator in the positioning of the Lite-Shield modular aluminum trench shields. The struts on modular type shoring systems were not designed to be pulled on with a backhoe bucket. Damage is likely, if the operator uses them to pull the shield. The Pullbar will allow the bucket to pull the shield system ahead, without damage to the struts. Bent struts are a safety hazard.

Top Cap

Keep your top panels safe from wear and tear from the backhoe bucket. The extruded T-6 "Top Cap" option provides a massive protective wear bar for the top panel in your system. Available on 6', 8', 10', and 12' panels.

Why take a chance?

The Pullbar conforms to your strut width, without the interference with their adjustment range. The lift eyes are built in. It can be ordered in several different sizes, to match the working range of the struts. Consult your distributor or the factory for full specifications.
