Working in trenches, excavations and shored environments presents unique safety challenges, particularly when it comes to worker access, fall protection and emergency rescue. Having the right equipment available before work begins is critical to ensuring compliance and protecting personnel on site.
At NZ Access, we're pleased to introduce the new BTS Pro-6G 3-Piece Davit Trench Shoring Kit – a complete, ready-to-use solution designed specifically for trench shoring panels and ground excavation applications.

Expand the System with Additional Davit Bases
While this kit includes the dedicated PRO-3G & 6G Shoring Panel Base for trench and excavation applications, the BTS Pro-6G Davit is part of a highly versatile modular system that can be configured with a range of additional portable and fixed davit bases.
This allows the same davit to be utilised across multiple work environments, including confined spaces, pump stations, water and wastewater facilities, manufacturing sites, transport infrastructure, industrial plants and utility networks. Depending on the application, users can specify alternative bases such as vehicle hitch mounts, counterweight systems, barrel mounts, I-beam mounts and other specialised configurations.
This flexibility enables organisations to maximise their investment by using the same davit system across a variety of access, rescue and material handling tasks, while maintaining a consistent and familiar setup for operators.
