Production Safety Equipment for the Working
Class Above & Below Ground
A new report from the American Water Works Association estimates that U.S. drinking water systems may need $2.1 trillion to $2.4 trillion in investment over the next 25 years. That is a big national number. But for public works teams, utility...
Manual lifting problems rarely show up as one clean line item. They spread across workers’ compensation claims, absenteeism, turnover, slowed production, product damage, rework, and labor inefficiency. That is why lift assist devices for...
Most trench box failures do start at the spreader socket. That is the part taking repeated force from dragging, resetting, loading, and everyday production use. It is also the area most likely to crack when the design relies on a welded socket. For...
For many crews, tabulated data is where confidence disappears. The trench is open, the shore is on-site, and someone is staring at a chart trying to make sure the setup is right. But this is not just paperwork. If you are using aluminum hydraulic...
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...
