The GME lite aluminum sheeting system is built to be used by rubber tired backhoes and lightweight excavators. Constructed from lightweight, aircraft grade aluminum, the system is designed to solve the problem of how to safely shore around existing utilities on job sites, according to the manufacturer.
Used in conjunction with the GME interlocking aluminum sheet pile, the system can be used at depths of 10 to 12 ft. (3 to 3.6 m) in a 2-, 3- or 4-sided configuration, while providing up to 84 in. (213 cm) of vertical pipe clearance (contingent upon soil conditions).
The system’s panels, measuring up to 10 ft. in length, can provide up to a 10 ft. 6 in. (3.2 m) square internal working area.
All spreader and corner connections feature the GME keyed locking pins, which require no keepers, saving both time and money during installation and removal.
