Guardian Aluminium Trench Shield3.6m×2.4mH with1.0mStruts
3.6m Length and 2.4m Height—No Top Extensions Needed
With a full 2.4m height, this shield covers deeper excavations without requiring additional extension panels. On jobs such as subdivisional services or larger-diameter pipe installs, this means fewer components to manage and faster, safer deployment.
Rigid 1.0m Struts & Rated for 7.2m Max Depth
The supplied 1.0m struts and design allow shoring of trenches up to 7.2m deep, enabling safer work in deeper service and infrastructure excavations. One unit covers large applications, reducing equipment inventory and handling overhead.
Rating: 42kPa, 90mm Wall Thickness
The strong lateral load rating and robust wall thickness provide durable protection even on heavier site loads. For ground conditions with high pressure, this means the shield stands up to real pressures—protecting crews and meeting compliance.
Stackable Set with Inbuilt Lifting Points
Designed for efficient trenching and handling, the units can stack on top of each other for a deeper trench and have lifting points to easily remove and place shields in a trench. Moving between sites or repositioning on long runs becomes faster and more efficient—reducing labour and machine time.
Weight Per Set (kg): 1000
Under Strut Clearance (m): 1.35
Recommended Machine Size (tonne): 5.5

Where This Trench Shield Delivers
- Deep-line service or utilities installation in subdivisions, where working depths exceed standard boxes.
- Large-diameter pipe installation or situations requiring ample internal height and clearance.
- Projects using smaller excavators or limited staging—its lightweight aluminium build allows mobility while maintaining strength.
- Multi-site fleets needing a shield that covers varied trench profiles—standardising on one unit simplifies training, logistics and maintenance.
This Guardian shield gives you deep‑coverage protection with fewer accessories, robust build for heavy jobs, and handling flexibility that speeds setup and reduces costs.
