Learn more about aluminium shoring in our FAQ section below.

How does aluminium shoring compare to other shoring systems?

Compared to heavier systems with steel trench boxes or sheet piling, aluminium shoring is designed for lighter, more flexible trench support applications, making it ideal for confined spaces and frequent repositioning on construction sites.

What role do struts and spreaders play in Aluminium Shoring Systems?

Struts and spreaders used to support trench walls by holding the sides of the excavation apart and keeping the system stable in different ground conditions. They also control the working width, which is the clear space inside the trench where your team can safely work.

By adjusting the struts and spreaders, the system can be set to suit different trench widths, ensuring there is enough room for access, installation, and safe movement on site while maintaining proper support.

How safe and durable are Aluminium Shoring Systems?

Aluminium Shoring Systems are designed for high durability while remaining lightweight and easy to handle on site. They are engineered to meet relevant Australian standards and can be used with components such as vertical shores and shoring struts to provide reliable trench support across varying ground conditions.

United Rentals’ aluminium shoring boxes are Australian made, ensuring quality and reliability for local construction sites. For added safety, the edge protection range, including handrails, can also be hired alongside aluminium shoring to help protect workers around trench openings.

What transport and delivery support is available for shoring equipment?

We have a dedicated transport team with over 80 vehicles and crane truck operators across Australia to support delivery and collection of shoring equipment. Where possible, we offer a pre-build service so equipment arrives ready to install, with on-site crane assistance available if required to improved efficiency.
