Aluminium Hydraulic Brace (540 Braces)

Aluminium Hydraulic Brace (540 Braces)

The 540 brace is a lightweight hydraulic brace designed for small excavations. Individual legs are assembled to produce a 4-sided telescopic hydraulic bracing frame which is used in conjunction with trench sheeting to support square or rectangular excavations from 1.5m up to 3.1m long. Legs are constructed from high-yield steel sections and incorporate a single-acting hydraulic ram. This means the legs can be expanded and pressurised hydraulically.
