MANHOLE SHIELD

Manhole shields provide protection for manhole installations, small-bore pit shoring, and other applications requiring four-sided protection within a relatively small area. DPN offers square, round, and octagonal shields that are safe, convenient and easy to install. Manhole shields have the ability to stack to increase height for deeper excavations.  Some shields also have cutouts along bottom edge of sides to allow for use with crossing utilities.  Legs can also be used for additional clearance.

USES

Manhole installation, small-bore pit shoring, and similar tasks requiring 4-sided protection in a relatively small area.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

2′ Legs, lifting chains, different length spreaders.
