Our Story
Founded over two decades ago, Trenchmate began as a small engineering company with a simple mission: to make excavation work safer and more efficient. What started as a local operation has grown into New Zealand’s most trusted name in shoring solutions. Our journey has been marked by continuous innovation, unwavering commitment to safety, and a deep understanding of the construction industry’s evolving needs.
Innovation Through Experience
Our extensive experience in the field has taught us that no two excavation projects are exactly alike. This insight led us to develop our revolutionary modular shoring system, which can be configured to meet virtually any excavation challenge. From narrow utility trenches to wide foundation excavations, our equipment adapts to your specific needs.
We’ve invested heavily in research and development to ensure our products meet the highest safety standards while remaining cost-effective and user-friendly. Our commitment to innovation has positioned us as industry leaders in shoring technology.
