SheetMaster

SheetMaster is a revolutionary, non-hydraulic, sheet handling and installation attachment developed to undertake the three dig and push operations of pitching, driving and extraction for the Groundforce Shorco range of trench sheets. Reducing the need for manual intervention and keeping operatives clear of the slewing excavator, means SheetMaster introduces greater safety into trench sheet handling operations by assigning much of the control to the excavator driver.

Larssen Sheet Piles

Larssen Piles are a type of sheet piling that has an interlocking section which forms a sheet piling retaining wall. Each sheet pile section is connected at 180 degrees from the previous one to form a uniform wall with alternating troughs and peaks. Larssen Sheet Piles are typically used in temporary or permanent cofferdams, retaining walls and foundation construction.

Maxi Brace

The Maxi Brace is a mid-range, heavy duty, hydraulically adjustable bracing system suitable for supporting clear span square or rectangular excavations ranging from 3m to 12m in size. Higher load capacity and/or longer spans can be achieved by incorporating either cross strutting of knee bracing. Modular extensions are available to further extend beam lengths, however cross strutting is required with these leg configurations.

Trench Sheet Driving Plate

The Groundforce Trench Sheet Driving Plate is an alternative to using traditional piling caps when using the ‘dig and push’ method to install trench sheets. The Trench Sheet Driving Plate should always be used in conjunction with a Quick Release Shackle (QRS) to pitch the sheets.
