Steel Shields for Rent

Steel Shields are available in 8' to 30' lengths and 4' to 10' heights and are designed and certified by Registered Professional Engineers to optimize strength-to-weight ratios while maintaining minimal sidewall thickness.

Each United Rentals trench shield comes with tabulated data stamped by an RPE specifying the depth and soil conditions that the shield is designed to withstand. Custom sizes and high capacity shields are available upon request.
