Trench Sheet Driving Cap

Altrad Generation’s Driving Caps are designed to protect the heads of Trench Sheets during installation, minimising deformation and extending sheet life. When Trench sheets are driven into the ground, whether using hydraulic, vibratory, or manual equipment, the cap acts as a buffer between the impact force and the sheet, reducing wear on the profile and ensuring correct sheet alignment.

Our driving caps are available in three variants:

  • Universal Driving Cap – Lightweight and versatile

  • BD Driving Cap – Heavier-duty option for deeper sheets

  • HD Driving Cap – High-durability option for demanding installations

Each cap is built to withstand the rigours of piling on-site and helps deliver a safer and more efficient Trench Sheet installation process. These caps are fully compatible with our Standard Overlapping Trench Sheets, Quick Release Pitching Shackles, and Extraction Clamps, forming part of a complete temporary works system for ground support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a driving cap used for?
A driving cap protects the top of a Trench Sheet during installation, absorbing impact from vibratory or manual driving equipment and preventing distortion of the sheet profile.

Which type of driving cap do I need?
