Ancillary Shoring Equipment for Engineered Systems
As a full-service trench shoring system provider, United Rentals supplies the equipment and services you need to keep your excavation projects safe and efficient. In addition to our engineered trench systems, United Rentals rents a variety of ancillary equipment, such as safety guardrails, vibratory hammers and load monitoring services, to assist in the construction of your excavation project.
Fall Protection Safety Guardrails
Protect your crew and maintain OSHA and CCOHS compliance with United Rentals’ fall protection guard rails. Designed specifically for shoring and excavation projects, these temporary safety railings help prevent workers from accidentally entering or falling into open excavations. Our guard rail systems are engineered for efficiency—offering one of the fastest, simplest and most secure installation processes available today—so you can enhance site safety with a cost-effective solution.
Vibratory Hammers
Our selection of vibratory hammers helps to drive or extract steel sheets and sheet piles into the ground during deep excavation projects. Pile driving equipment uses high-frequency vibrations to loosen the soil, allowing the piling materials to be quickly lowered into the ground.
Load Monitoring Services
United Rentals has partnered with Senceive, the world leader in wireless data monitoring, to simplify real-time measurements of static loads and monitor potential movements in hydraulic bracing systems during excavation projects. Senceive’s new geotechnical monitoring system called FlatMesh™ uses wireless nodes with the load pins to pass their signal from one to the other, so one of the nodes needs to have clear contact with the 3G gateway module for all readings to be taken.
The benefits of Senceive excavation monitoring services include:
- Updated and wireless technology
- Quick and easy installation
- Early warning SMS system
- Waterproof to IP67 rating
- Reliable, robust and accurate system
Our Engineered Systems
United Rentals offers high-quality engineered systems and expert services for complex trench and excavation projects, including hydraulic bracing equipment, slide rail systems, sheeting guide frames, beam and plate systems and sheet piling.
Hydraulic Bracing Equipment
Our hydraulic bracing equipment, consisting of modular bracing systems and hydraulic strut systems, provides an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional bracing methods.
Slide Rail Systems
Our slide rail shoring systems have a patented open-track rail design with swing-in panels for ground-level installation, perfect for keeping crews out of the trench and clear of lifted loads during setup.
Sheeting Guide Frames
We carry sheeting guide frame systems, also called G3 systems, that provide a safe, efficient and versatile solution for excavations requiring trench protection with driven sheet piling.
Beam and Plate Systems
We offer engineered beam and plate systems that are made of vertical beams and steel plates to provide a sturdy temporary wall around deep excavation projects where soil stability is critical.
Sheet Piling
Our customizable sheet piling shoring systems are made of interlocking steel sheet piles that provide strong and reliable earth retention for excavation projects with unstable soil.
