Why the Industry Is Calling KUNDEL the “Swiss Army Knife of Shoring”

Nov 4, 2025 | Trench Boxes

Talk to anyone who’s spent enough time in the trench, and they’ll tell you the ground has a mind of its own. You plan, you prep, and then something shifts. That’s the nature of the work. What you can control, though, is the gear you bring with you.
