Beam & Plate Systems deliver a cost-effective alternative to Slide Rail Systems or traditional tight sheet-piling solutions for long-term excavation projects. Lance Rentals’ Beam & Plate Systems are designed by Registered Professional Engineers to meet the specific requirements of your project site and certified to meet OSHA regulations. Through a combination of auguring equipment and vibratory hammers, vertical steel beams are precisely driven into the ground. Steel Plates are then inserted along the channels of the steel beams to provide the necessary protection for the soil wall. Lance Rentals offers a variety of Steel Plate sizes and a diverse offering of vertical steel beam lengths for use in its Beam & Plate Systems.

Horizontal Waler Systems are ideally suited to meet OSHA regulations in less stable soil conditions, such as soil types C-60 and C-80, requiring close or intermittent sheeting. Horizontal Waler Systems are designed to provide maximum protection along with the system flexibility required to work around crossing utility lines. Engineered for use with either hydraulic vertical shore cylinders or hydraulic aluminum box struts, Horizontal Waler Systems can be applied to a variety of soil and sheeting variations to meet your project specific shoring requirements. Selection of the proper system will provide unequalled support for timber, steel, or fiberglass sheeting while allowing for greater distance between the spreaders than in conventional sheeting applications. These features maximize workspace within the open trench and provide greater flexibility. Walers with hydraulic vertical shore cylinders are designed for use in two-sided applications for production work. Walers with hydraulic aluminum box struts allow end-loading in a three-sided application, for pipe repair or valve maintenance. Lance Rental's offers Horizontal Waler Systems in lengths of 8', 10' or 16'. The system, with standard equipment, can be used to shore excavation widths ranging from 17'' to over 12'.

Hydraulic Vertical Shores deliver the quickest and easiest trench safety solution. Lightweight vertical hydraulic shores apply hydraulic pressure to the sidewalls of a trench, providing proactive protection against a trench collapse. These high-strength, lightweight shores are designed to prevent trench collapse and meet OSHA regulations in soil types A, B & C-60. Hydraulic Vertical Shores are an extremely versatile trench safety system that are excellent for working around existing utilities, supporting trench walls near structures, curbs or sidewalks, and for pipe installation where a larger backhoe cannot be employed.

These cylindrical, high-strength shields are engineered to protect workers during the installation of manholes, line taps, valve placements and spot repairs. Constructed using corrugated steel welded securely to rigid steel collars, our manhole guards are light enough to be handle with a rubber-tired backhoe. They are easily stacked for deeper applications and feature optional trapezoidal cutouts to allow for incoming utilities while maintaining maximum protection integrity.

Custom bent steel sheeting is very strong with a high strength to weight ratio. Our cap design covers a full 24", resulting in less product required to cover more trench feet. The steel sheet pile's 3/8" material thickness and 3-3/8" sheeting height allows for ease of pushing the sheeting to grade and increases production efficiency.

Lance Rental’s Steel Trench Shields offer flexibility and nimble operation your project. Durable and flexible steel shields are ideal of use in applications where shallow depth is expected or where high capacity is not a requirement.  Utilizing lower pipe clearance and smaller spreader allows for the use of lighter lifting machines and dragging. 

Our Steel Trench Shields feature replaceable push blocks that can reduce structural damage and are a light weight tubular design, Single Wall shields are available in flat-bottom or knife edge configurations.  Wall lifting pockets and spreader pins with keepers make logistics with Steel Trench Shields a simper task.
