Individual Slide Rail components offer the option of using lighter equipment when installing the system. The cost of rental and installation of the system is approximately 50 percent of steel sheeting. One of the biggest advantages of Slide Rail is that installation of the system and the excavation are completed together, saving time and reducing cost.

Also wall to wall working space of a 4-sided Slide Rail System is greater than a standard trench box or other shoring, installing Slide Rail causes minimal vibration to adjacent buildings and surrounding structures.
