Abstract
A shoring end section assembly is described which may allow increased strength, increased longevity, and ease of use. The end section assembly may be comprised of a through-wall tube that is substantially hollow, and a connection assembly comprised of one or more through-wall tubular coupling assemblies. Each through-wall tubular coupling assembly may be comprised of a hollow through-wall tubular coupling which extends through the through-wall tube, a spreader stop disposed inside the hollow through-wall tubular coupling, a through-wall collar disposed between the hollow through-wall tubular coupling and the through-wall tube, a tubular coupling pin washer plate, and a tubular coupling collar disposed around the proximal end of the tubular coupling. Each through-wall tubular coupling assembly may have a transverse rigidifying member extending between them, and a notched angle brace assembly may be attached to the lowest through-wall tubular coupling assembly.
