Hardwood Cribbing Blocks and Shoring
Custom Made Industrial Wood Products
Our portable shoring beams are used to stabilize a structure or excavations. When deep excavations are required, adjacent buildings, streets & equipment must be protected with strong hardwood shoring timbers. Ashley River Lumber can provide the support needed for these projects with our versatile blocking and shoring beams which are necessary when shoring for utility work trenches or blocking temporary structures or equipment.
Shoring
Wood shoring is a prop or frame used to support a building or excavation when there is danger of collapse or during repairs and alterations for safety purposes. Also used for cofferdams to remove water for excavation and construction. We will custom cut the shoring material to your exact sizes for any support system design you have. Usually softer hardwoods are ok but in some situations stronger species like Oak and Hickory may be necessary.
Common sizes are 3x4x4ft and 2x6x8 hardwoods.
Dunnage
Dunnage is lumber placed on the ground or between packages to raise materials that allow access for forklifts and slings for hoisting. With local hardwood we can cut whatever size dunnage you need for storing, shipping or packaging your products safely and efficiently. Common sizes are 4x4x8ft for materials destine for truck freight and 4x5x10ft that work well for railcar freight, usually made of lower grade hardwoods to save on cost.
Wood Cribbing
Wood Cribbing is a temporary wood structure used to support heavy objects during construction, relocation, vehicle stabilization and extraction and search and rescue. Our Cribbing packages are tailor fit to your specific need be it jacking up a home, or carrying an emergency vehicle for rescue operations. Common sizes are 4x4x4ft and 6x6x4ft. Softer wood species like Pine are preferred
Wood Blocking
Wood blocking is used for jacking up heavy equipment like construction machinery, mining, truck, tractors, cranes etc. for repairs or stabilization of buildings and structures. We will cut large and small blocks for any applications you may have custom to your needs. Usually softer wood species like pine are preferred for lighter applications but we can provide hardwood blocks for heavier weight jobs
