Aluminum Shields are a double wall panel shield that is designed to be light and strong.They are available with hydraulic or screw jack spreaders. The aluminum shield is designed specifically for municipalities, utilities and contractors who use rubber tired backhoe/loaders and small excavators for trenching.
Aluminum sheeting can be used on the open sides of the hydraulic spreaders to create a hydraulic aluminum box.
