Hydraulic bracing systems are designed to operate in conjunction with trench sheets or sheet piles. These
systems satisfy the many permutations for two sided trench and four sided manhole, chamber or small
cofferdam type excavations that are typically encountered in groundwork, utility and other general industry
applications.
Simple Pin and Clip connections enable rapid assembly and installation and precise adjustment of
dimensions can be achieved via integral hydraulic rams.
Site safety is assured by utilising our range of compatible safety products and ancillary tools.

For larger excavations demanding increased clear openings MGF offer a range of Heavy Duty Hydraulic
Bracing Systems. Each leg features a hydraulic pack with an integral double-acting hydraulic ram.
Modular extensions are then selected and connected using robust pin and bolt joints to meet the required
configuration. The hydraulic pack is operated using a pump unit for fine adjustment of the
frame dimensions and also to provide system pre-load where appropriate.
When necessary these systems can be used in conjunction with Cross Struts and/or Knee Braces
(Hydraulic or Mechanical) to satisfy increased load parameters and complex design requirements.
