Hydraulic Shoring Systems

Lightweight, hydraulic systems designed to stabilize trench walls and keep your crew safe.

Lightweight, Adjustable Support for Safer Trenches

Hydraulic shoring systems provide vital trench wall support, helping prevent soil movement and dangerous cave-ins during excavation. Southeastern Trench Safety (STS) offers lightweight, aluminum hydraulic shoring solutions designed for fast installation and easy removal — keeping your crews safe and projects running efficiently.

Benefits of Hydraulic Shoring:

  • Lightweight and Portable - Aluminum components are significantly lighter than steel systems, allowing for easy transport, handling and installation without heavy machinery.
  • Fast Installation and Removal - Hydraulic pistons allow quick adjustment, speeding up setup and minimizing time spent in the trench.
  • Versatile for Tight Spaces - Perfect for narrow trenches, high-traffic areas or locations where existing utilities limit the use of larger systems.
  • Adjustable for Various Trench Sizes - Hydraulic cylinders expand or contract to fit different trench widths and depths, providing reliable support for changing job site conditions.
  • Enhanced Safety and OSHA Compliance - Engineered to meet or exceed OSHA 1926 Subpart P requirements for excavation safety.
  • Installable from Outside the Trench Many systems can be installed without workers entering the excavation, reducing risk during setup.
Hydraulic Shoring System

Hydraulic shoring is ideal for:

  • Utility installations and repairs
  • Municipal infrastructure projects
  • Emergency excavations requiring rapid deployment
  • Urban job sites with space restrictions
  • Shallow to medium-depth trenches where adjustable support is essential

STS offers a full range of hydraulic shoring equipment and accessories, including:

  • Vertical Shores — Ideal for narrow trenches or areas with crossing utilities.
  • Horizontal Shores — Used for wider trenches where vertical shores alone can’t span the excavation.
  • End Shores — Designed to support trench ends and maintain open work areas.
  • Hydraulic Struts and Spreaders — For customized configurations.
  • Pumps, release tools and extension components for various trench dimensions.

Project-Specific Solutions

Every excavation site presents unique challenges. STS works closely with your team to ensure your hydraulic shoring system is properly selected and configured for your trench dimensions, soil conditions and regulatory needs—keeping your crews safe and your project compliant.
