ICON Equipment works closely with contractors to provide engineering-backed solutions that address these real-world conditions.

Our team can assist during project planning, bidding, and field execution. Contractors frequently consult ICON engineers to review excavation requirements and select systems designed to support safe and efficient operations.

Engineering support from ICON may include:

Excavation system design recommendations
Project layout guidance

Slide Rail Shoring Systems

ICON Equipment is a leading trench shoring company, known as the original pioneer and foremost expert in slide rail shoring design, manufacturing, and rental since 1982. Our rental slide rail shoring systems are made in the USA and out of the best quality high yield, grade 50 steel we can buy because quality matters. A slide rail shoring system is a pre-engineered modular steel system made up of lineal panels, rails with bracing and/or corner posts that effectively enable the contractor to sheet and shore 3 or 4 sided pits and 2 sided trench excavations while saving time and money versus using a conventional driven steel sheet piling method or building wood shoring.
The incredible “Dig and Push” method of installation eliminates the need for vibratory hammers while increasing production by 50% and decreasing labor by 30% to 40% in most applications.

Steel Trench Boxes

ICON Equipment offers quality manufacturing of one of the most advanced lines of rental Trench & Manhole Shielding products available anywhere in the market today. Our shields are designed, manufactured, and Made in the USA by ICON Equipment with the contractor in mind. We build products for our own trench shoring rental fleet, and they are built to last. All our products are designed and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer to maximize strength, optimal weight, and durability under pressure. With every purchase, you will receive a NAXSA Approved and P.E. Stamped Tabulated Data sheet per ICON model number for your records.

ICON-O-Lite Aluminum Trench & Pit Boxes

ICON offers a superior line of lightweight aluminum shoring products for our customers and clients. Our ICON-O-LITE system is designed, manufactured, and Made in the USA by ICON Equipment and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer to meet the highest quality and utmost strength with an ultra-lightweight design. We build the system in a modular design, fixed or solid design, and even have a steel frame design for extra durability. As a trusted trench shoring company, ICON Equipment offers many options and accessories to fit your needs or specific project. We can even customize your order if needed.

Aluminum Hydraulic Shoring

ICON Equipment offers lightweight aluminum hydraulic shoring as one of the safest, most versatile means and methods of shoring even the most difficult excavation. Typically, one worker can safely and effectively shore a trench as quickly as it is excavated, allowing the excavator to operate at full digging capacity. Active preloading of trench walls maintains the vertical trench sides, preventing soil from moving or collapsing inward.

Composite and Wood Access Mats

ICON Equipment is a distributor of Spartan Composites, LLC and rents and sells Composite and Wood Mats for almost any infrastructure project.

Our composite mats will eliminate the frequent problems found with timber mats, such as rot, insect infestation, warping, and board breakage. Composite mats do not take on liquid or water weight, so they will stay strong and durable in the wettest weather.

Our Composite and Wood Mats are often used on project sites such as Pipeline & Underground, Transmission & Distribution Utilities, Wind Energy, Drilling & Oilfield, Bridge, Heavy Civil, Highway & Infrastructure, Marine & Barge, Nuclear & Large Plants, Crane & Erection, Environmental Remediation, Logging & Forestry, Tilt up, Mining & Metals, and many other sites.

Steel Road Plates

Steel Road Plates are used by almost every utility and construction company around the world for covering trenches, protecting roadways, or used in a vertical shoring application such as H-Beam and Plate. ICON Equipment rents, sells, and services 32,000 square feet of steel road plate, and our inventory is growing every year. Our engineering department can provide P.E. stamped drawings and calculations for H-20 traffic loading as well as bridge decking designs for custom projects.
