Vertishores

Vertishores (Hydraulic Vertical Aluminium Shores) are used to support the sides of a trench and prevent a trench collapse. These lightweight shores can be transported, installed, and removed safely and easily.

The shores are hinged so they can be folded when lowered into the trench and then opened. After, it is pressurized using a hydraulic hand pump which prevents cave-ins from happening.  The hydraulic fluid is water-soluble, environmentally safe, and biodegradable.

These are typically used in linear trench applications and are installed outside the excavation. This tool is useful for repair and utility work such as sewer and water lines as well as any other projects that require effective spot bracing.

Note: To be used in cohesive soils only.
