Slide Rail System – Slide Rail Shoring Rental
Engineered for Deep Excavations and Confined Sites
Luby Shoring offers slide rail system rentals for projects requiring efficient excavation support where sloping or traditional trench shields are impractical. These systems are designed to meet OSHA standards for Type A, B, and C soils while enabling safe, fast, and flexible trenching and pit installation in challenging conditions.
What Is a Slide Rail System?
A slide rail system is a modular, dig-and-push trench shoring method consisting of vertical steel posts and sliding panels (similar to trench shield walls). This system is installed incrementally as the pit is excavated, eliminating the need for large, assembled trench shields and making it ideal for use with mid-sized excavators.
- Cost-effective alternative to traditional sheet piling (approx. 50% less)
- Supports deep pits and linear installations up to 50′ x 50′
- Enables 4-sided pits, multi-bay trenching, or clear-span configurations
- Works well in wet, tight, or urban environments
