Waler End Bearers

The aluminium Waler End Bearer (WEB) system has been developed to be used exclusively with the Groundforce range of aluminium Waler Rails to provide lightweight support to non-battered ends of trenches. Reference should therefore also be made to the Hydraulic Waler Frame User Guide.

Lightweight aluminium components
Combines with all aluminium rail sizes
Free-running, telescopic sections
Trench widths up to 3.4m

Used with trench sheets, this system efficiently & safely retains backfill and prevents accidental dislodgement of loose material into the excavation whilst providing a barrier to prevent unauthorised access to the excavation. It also removes the need to improvise with less suitable methods, such as road plates or timber.

Each WEB comprise free-running, telescoping aluminium sections that pin directly into the aluminium waler rail which adjust in length as the hydraulic cylinders are extended.

WEB Model	Min External Trench Width (mm)	Max External Trench Width (mm)	Weight (kg)	Equivalent Cylinder Model*
Type A-A	545	690	8.7	Waler Cylinder Type A
Type A-B	650	850	10.0	Waler Cylinder Type A
Type B-A	775	1025	12.0	Waler Cylinder Type B
Type B-B	975	1275	14.1	Waler Cylinder Type B
Type C-A	1300	1750	19.0	Waler Cylinder Type C
Type C-B	1700	2200	22.9	Waler Cylinder Type C
Type C1	1900	2800	28.7	Waler Cylinder Type C1
Type C2	2500	3400	34.0	Waler Cylinder Type C2

*Two models of WEB cater for each equivalent waler cylinder range (not C1 & C2).

Aluminium Waler System

Walers are an accepted and popular method for supporting trench runs. When used in combination with standard trench sheets, aluminium walers offer a light, quick and easy solution for pipe laying activities. The width is also adjustable using hydraulic aluminium cylinders.

Steel Waler System

A heavy duty steel waler system where stronger support is required. Each unit comprises 2 No. steel rails complete with two hydraulic cylinders. These are available in a range of different sizes depending on the trench width. The cylinders fit directly on to the rails and are pressurised by a manually operated hydraulic hand pump, giving an uninterrupted column of strength between the trench walls.

Vertical Shores

The Vertishore is a lightweight, compact shoring unit designed for short-term trench support in stable ground conditions which do not require close sheeting. The unit is easily installed from ground level by one man in a matter of seconds and provides safe, effective shoring without operatives having to enter an un-shored excavation. If required, optional EKOply Backing Boards can be supplied to aid retention of loose or granular material between vertical supports.

Modular Aluminium Panel Box (MAP Box)

The MAP Box is a lightweight modular box system that can be assembled by hand and handled by a 180 degree rubber tyred excavator. Using just three main components: panels, struts and corner posts, the system provides great versatility by allowing 2, 3, and 4 sided support as the job demands. Box weights start as low as 240kg for 2- sided configurations. The portability and ease of handling make the system ideal for emergency uses where rapid response and limited working space rule out heavier equipment.
