Components of a Slide Rail System

Slide Rail Shoring Panels: 
These panels are produced with the same quality as our trench shield panels.  The slide rail shoring panels are reinforced along key stress points to ensure a long services life and continued use.  They are a smooth wall design with reduces friction during the removal process.  Each panel features the industry’s strongest and only one-piece t-lock design, which eliminates welds, reduces friction and provides a secure connection a the most critical point of the slide rail shoring system.

Slide Rail Corner Posts:
Available in Single (8’-12’ in depth), Double (16’ – 20’) and Triple (24’ – 28’).  The Slide Rail Corner Posts are used at the corners of the excavation.  Each post features a reinforced cutting edge (bottom) to “knife” into the soil, heavy-duty push plate (top) to hold up to excavator buckets, track cut outs to reduce the height need to lift the Slide Rail Shoring Panels and the industries first quick release (ground release) shackle connection that eliminates the need for a worker to climb a ladder to remove the installation rigging.  All of these features allow for a quicker and efficient installation.

Slide Rail Spreader Posts (a.k.a. Linear Rails):
Available in Single (8’-12’ in depth), Double (16’ – 20’) and Triple (24’ – 28’).  The Slide Rail Spreader Posts (a.k.a. Linear Rails) are used at for linear and multiple bay applications.  Each post features a reinforced cutting edge (bottom) to “knife” into the soil, heavy-duty push plate (top) to hold up to excavator buckets, track cut outs to reduce the height need to lift the Slide Rail Shoring Panels and the industries first quick release (ground release) shackle connection that eliminates the need for a worker to climb a ladder to remove the installation rigging.  All of these features allow for a quicker and efficient installation.

Slide Rail Roller Beams:
Available in Single (to be used with Single Spreader Post (a.k.a. Linear Rails)), Double, Double Box Beam (to be used with the Double Spreader Post) and a Triple.  These roller beams attach to the inside face of the Slide Rail Spreader Post (a.k.a. Linear Rails), keeping these post parallel and allowing vertical movement to accommodate maximum vertical clearance.  All Slide Rail Roller Beams include heavy duty 4” diameter steel wheels with the industries only grease zerk fitting to easily grease the wheels allowing them to effortlessly move up and down the Slide Rail Spreader Posts.

Slide Rail Spreader Beams:
The Slide Rail Spreader Beams and designed to attached to the Roller Beams, creating a rolling cart system.  These beams are modular, meaning that beams can be added to or removed from the system to obtain the desired internal width of the system.   The Slide Rail Spreader Beams are constructed for W12 x 106 beam, which provide a sturdy, rigid frame that won’t bind or rack when the rolling cart system is being moved. 
The Double Box Beam spreader beams are constructed of high strength steel, welded to take the shape of a box.  These beams, when used with the Double Box Beam Roller, provide an increased vertical clearance inside the excavation.
