Key Features:

  • Optimized Design: The Super Shields are constructed with a double-skin design, enhancing durability while maintaining a manageable weight. They are available in various sizes to accommodate different excavation requirements.

  • High Load Capacity: Despite their lightweight construction, these shields provide substantial working load limits, making them suitable for various excavation depths and soil conditions.

  • Enhanced Clearance: An optional high-clearance rise bar increases the under-strut clearance to 1,950 mm as standard, facilitating the installation of larger pipes and culverts.

  • Versatile Spreader Bars: The shields come with a full range of spreader bars, adjustable up to 5,000 mm wide, allowing for flexibility in trench width adjustments.

  • Compact and Portable: Designed for ease of transport and handling, these shields are ideal for projects requiring mobility and quick setup.
