Guardian Aluminium Trench Shield3.6m×2.4mH with Adjustable0.8‑1.2m Struts
3.6m Length×2.4m Height — No Top Extensions Needed
With a full‑height 2.4m design, this shield covers standard excavation depths without needing additional panels. That means faster setup and fewer components to manage when working in subdivisions, residential services or utilities trenches.
Adjustable 0.8‑1.2m Struts for Flexible Widths
The struts adjust within the 0.8‑1.2m range, allowing you to customise the internal width of the shield on the fly. Ideal when trench widths vary or you need to accommodate pipe runs, laterals or irregular trench profiles without switching out the entire support system.
42kPa Rating & 90mm Wall Thickness
This heavy‑duty rating delivers proven lateral load resistance suited for deeper excavations or tougher soils. You get a reliable shield for demanding site conditions, reducing risk to crews and complying with excavation safety standards.
Stackable Panels with Built‑In Lifting Points
Panels are designed to stack for deeper trenches and feature lifting points for safe moving. This improves logistics, minimises handling time on site and allows smaller machines or crews to reposition the equipment efficiently.
Weight Per Set (kg): 1000
Under Strut Clearance (m): 1.35
Recommended Machine Size (tonne): 5.5
Certificates: British and European Standards BS. EN 13331.1 and 13331.2, Australia & New Zealand Standard AS 4744.1-2000 & United States Standard, OSHA Sub Part P.
Where This Trench Shield Delivers
- Excavation for large‑diameter pipe or utilities where clearance and width vary across the run.
- Subdivision services with tight access and changing trench profiles—adjustable struts let you tailor support to each trench width.
- Projects using smaller excavator machines—the lightweight alloy design supports deep trenches up to 7.2m without sacrificing manoeuvrability.
With this Guardian unit, you gain a single, versatile trench shield that adjusts to varying widths, handles deeper jobs, reduces component complexity and speeds up deployment—all helping to keep your crew safe and your schedule on track.
