ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for shoring a trench.
The trench shoring apparatus carries a plurality of sheet members movable vertically relative to said apparatus by driving means forming part of the apparatus which carries pre-formed horizontal waling frame carried by and movable relative to the apparatus.
The horizontal waling frame is positionable between the sheet members after the sheet members have been driven by said driving means, so that an upward or downward pressure applied to said waling frame is converted, through the intermediary of said waling frame, into a lateral pressure onto the trench sides, so that the sheet members may be caused to move downwardly or upwardly by increasing the resistance to upward or downward movement of the apparatus. Similarly, a downward pressure applied to means supporting said waling frame, is converted into a lateral pressure, through the intermediary of said waling frame, so as to cause upward movement of said apparatus.
