Altrad Generation's Extraction Clamps provide a robust, reliable solution for removing trench sheets from the ground after excavation or temporary works operations. These trench sheet extraction clamps attach securely to the sheet and transfer lifting force from the excavator or crane to the sheet body, making removal safer and more controlled than unassisted methods.
Available in 12kg and 30kg models, the clamps suit a range of sheet types, lifting equipment, and site preferences. The heavy-duty steel construction withstands the forces required to extract sheets from compacted or cohesive ground, helping preserve sheet condition during removal and reducing the likelihood of costly damage. Sheet extraction equipment hire from Altrad Generation forms part of a complete installation and recovery system alongside Quick Release Pitching Shackles and Driving Caps.
Extraction clamps must not be used to pitch sheets into position. These are designed for extraction use only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are extraction clamps used for?
A: Extraction clamps attach to a trench sheet and allow a crane or excavator to pull the sheet out of the ground in a controlled manner. They transfer lifting force efficiently to the sheet body, reducing damage during extraction compared to uncontrolled removal methods.
Q: What weight options are available?
A: Extraction clamps are available in 12kg and 30kg models. The 12kg variant suits lighter sheets and smaller lifting equipment, while the 30kg model is designed for heavier-duty extraction of larger or more deeply embedded sheets.
Q: Can extraction clamps be used to install trench sheets?
A: No. Extraction clamps are designed for extraction use only and must not be used to pitch trench sheets into position. Use Quick Release Pitching Shackles for sheet installation.
Q: Are extraction clamps compatible with all trench sheet profiles?
A: Altrad Generation extraction clamps are compatible with the full range of trench sheet profiles in the Altrad Generation range. Contact your nearest branch to confirm compatibility with your specific sheets.
