Aluminium Vertishore
Ideal for trench excavations in cohesive soils (clay), Vertishores are a rapidly deployed solution used to stabilise the walls of an
excavated trench to allow safe access. Vertishores are light enough to be installed by manual handling and can be used for a
range of different trench depths & widths. Perfect for confined sites with limited access to heavy plant and machinery.

Aluminium Shoring Shields provide an extremely light-weight solution for shielding a work zone inside an excavated trench.
Lowered into position after excavation has been performed, our range of Aluminium Shoring Shields can be easily lifted and
moved using small excavators. This makes them rapid and easy to install, extract, or to move along a trench excavation as
construction progresses. A range of panel & strut sizes are available to suit almost any small to medium size trench excavation.

Super Aluminium Shoring Shield
The ultimate aluminium shoring shield. The Super Aluminium Shoring Shield combines the light-weight advantages of
aluminium construction, with a design engineered for strength and size. This produces a shoring shield that allows you to take
your excavation longer, wider & deeper, while still using standard size plant and machinery typically available on a construction
site. The Super Aluminium Shoring Shield is ideal for large trenching and pit applications where productivity is critical.

The Series 100 Light Shield is ideal for small to medium pit & trenching excavations where there is limited access to heavy
plant & machinery on site. This efficiently designed shield achieves an excellent pressure capacity rating, while still keeping
the assembled shield weight to a minimum. In addition to this, its steel construction and simple design produces an extremely
robust and versatile shoring solution.

The Series 600 Shoring Box range provides a shoring solution for almost any medium to large sized pit or trench excavation.
With an extensive range of high capacity panels and struts, the Series 600 Box can be assembled to a vast array of different
sizes to suit your needs. This system is designed to be high capacity and extremely robust enabling it to stand up to the most
challenging of site conditions. It can be installed as a traditional shoring shield, or using the “dig & push” method which is ideal
for installation in weak or unstable ground.

Rolling Strut Boxes are ideal for applications where extremely wide excavation dimensions are required. The bolt-together strut
assembly means that there is no fixed limit to strut length, subject to a free-of-charge design review by Coates Hire’s team of
in-house engineers. Added to this the flexibility of the rolling strut allows variable strut positioning to enable the user to avoid
obstructions within the excava-tion zone during excavation & construction.

Slide Rail is the ultimate in steel shoring solutions. It is the most robust & flexible shoring method for large excavations on the
market, and allows you to take your excavations longer, wider & deeper than with any other product. It offers unrivalled pressure
rating, allowing excavation depths of up to 9.0m in most conditions, and offers the largest under-strut clearance of any product
on the market.
*All applications of Slide Rail should be assessed by a
suitably qualified engineer.
^Additional strut lengths are achievable depending
on the application.

To add to Slide Rail’s extensive range of capabilities, the addition of 90 degree corner posts allows for fully enclosed pit
excavations to be achieved. Using the corner posts with the extensive range of panels, and their extremely high pressure rating,
almost any size pit excava-tion can be shored.
