Pneumatic Strut Standard D 42 - 66

Pneumatic shoring struts are designed and engineered to be one of the safest and most versatile means of shoring an excavation. Made with high tensile-strength aluminum alloy, the struts are lightweight and strong, yet able to withstand the toughest jobsite conditions. Struts are used in conjunction with our multi-shore shoring panels or with contractor-supplied plywood and 2” x 10” plank uprights. Standard struts are available to adapt to any trench wall. The standard series has a fixed end for use with near-vertical walled trenches. When the strut has been pressurized and the positive locking pin is set, there is no need to keep the air assembly connected. The strut is now fixed mechanically, maintaining pressure against the trench walls. The struts use CO2 or compressed air that makes it environmentally safe. There is no chance of messy fluid leaks or freezing in colder climates.
