Explore optionsALUMINUM MODULAR PANELS
Lightweight and strong, these Build-A-Box aluminum panels are made for fast, flexible trench protection. With multiple panel sizes and OSHA-compliant depth ratings, this modular shielding system supports utility installs, repairs, and inspections throughout Texas.
MODULAR SHIELDING
Beam and plate systems, KD6/8 sheeting, and trench slide rails provide strong support for complex excavation layouts. Texas First offers both single and double rail slide rail systems and aluminum-framed steel shields, suitable for custom pit shoring and open-span excavation across Texas job sites.
Modular system offering large open span support for long-term excavations.
Double rail slide system for safe trench wall support during excavation.
Single rail slide system for efficient linear shoring in tight spaces.
PIPE & UTILITY TOOLS
Texas First offers pipe lasers for underground alignment and hydraulic pipe pullers for joining large-diameter concrete and culvert pipe. With both standard and heavy-duty models, this equipment handles pipe up to 14 feet in diameter and supports trench and utility installs throughout Texas.
ROAD PLATES & GROUND PROTECTION
Steel road plates up to 8' x 20' keep roadways open during trench work, while bedding boxes manage stone and fill on site. This equipment supports both public works and private utility crews by increasing jobsite safety and efficiency in high-traffic areas.
Trackout Control Mats reduce sediment, debris, and contaminants from leaving jobsites and entering roadways. Unlike rock pads that need frequent upkeep, these mats are reusable, eco-friendly, and work across varied soil and weather conditions. The FODS Composite Trackout Control System installs in under 30 minutes and is ideal for fast-paced civil, residential, and industrial work. Available at Texas First Rentals locations throughout major Texas markets.
SAFETY SYSTEMS & SHIELDS
Built to protect workers during confined space entry and vertical access, this equipment includes manhole shields and fall arrest systems. Engineered to meet OSHA standards, these safety systems are ideal for excavation entry, access platforms, and shielded manhole work across various Texas job sites.
Elevated platform with fall protection system for trench access and safety.
STEEL TRENCH BOXES
