Steel-Framed Aluminum Panel Shields
Speed Shores popular Aluminum Panel Shields (APS) are now available with a rugged steel frame, creating the only true "drag box" aluminum-wall in the industry. Weighing in at approximately half the weight of comparable steel trench shields, Speed Shores Steel-Framed APS is specifically designed for contractors, utilities, plumbers, and municipalities who prefer the use of a rubber-tired backhoe or light excavator, yet desire a durable, high-capacity, lightweight shield to pull along the trench as work progresses.
Available in a full range of sizes and configurations, Speed Shores Steel-Framed APS offers the most comprehensive array of standard features and options in the industry. Rugged steel lifting and pulling eyes, heavy-duty stacking sockets and foam-filled walls are just a few of the many features offered. Steel spreaders are fully interchangeable, and optional knife-edge bottoms are available. Our exclusive narrow profile, double-wall, extruded aluminum panels offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and smooth exterior walls to shed debris and reduce pulling friction.
Speed Shores unique steel frame provides the toughness and durability expected from a "drag box", allowing rugged treatment that other aluminum shields simply cannot withstand. Ideal for light utility installations, pipeline bellholes, and municipal maintenance and repair jobs, these shields offer the ultimate in lightweight, high-capacity shielding.
