Production Safety Equipment for the Working
Class Above & Below Ground
Urban excavation has a habit of humbling the wrong equipment. A trench can look manageable on the print, then turn complicated the second the street narrows, utilities stack up, or the crew loses room to work. That is why the best shoring system...
When a trench turns into a web of gas lines, water lines, and conduit, standard protection can get complicated fast. A rigid trench box may work on a straight run, but crossing utilities often call for a more adaptable solution. That is where...
On a production pipe job, the trench box should not slow the crew down. The cycle is simple: excavate, lay pipe, pull the box ahead, backfill, and repeat. But when crews are dragging a trench box that is not designed for forward movement, every...
Hydraulic shoring moves fast, but safety starts before the first jack is set. KUNDEL’s hydraulic shoring jacks are built for quick setup, adjustable support, and trench safety in changing field conditions. Plan the Job First Before setup, assess...
Municipalities don’t buy equipment the way private contractors do. You’re balancing use-it-or-lose-it budgets, public accountability, and the reality that emergencies do not RSVP. That’s why the search term rent vs buy trench box is so common for...
Most trench systems are sold as “protection.” But in soil mechanics, there’s a critical difference between protection after movement and prevention before movement. Understanding active vs passive shoring can change your entire risk profile....
Why This Decision Comes Up in Material Handling In many facilities, automation becomes part of the conversation during growth, safety reviews, or when teams are asked to move heavier loads more efficiently without increasing risk. In material...
So… What Is a Jib Crane, Anyway? Jib cranes are often the simplest way to introduce controlled lifting into a space without reworking your entire facility. They are especially valuable in tight areas with minimal floor space, where controlled...
Why it matters: OSHA requires protection systems for trenches 5′ deep or more, and job-built shields without engineering are not acceptable.And when you choose a shielding solution like the KUNDEL Titan Series, those features become part of what...
