interface with construction equipment in particular connector 175 may interface with construction equipment having two or more horizontally spaced load bearing projections such as construction equipment 108 construction equipment 108 defines a backhoe and includes an articulating arm 107 and a bucket 109 as fig1 shows bucket 109 defiles a first projection and a second projection the first projection defines a first tooth 110 of the backhoe while the second projection defines a second tooth 112 of the backhoe by coupling connector 175 with bucket 109 construction equipment 108 may support apparatus 100 as articulating arm 107 is used to adjust the position of apparatus 100 apparatus 100 may effectively interface with construction equipment in addition to backhoes for example apparatus 100 is configured to interface with forklifts or other construction operating equipment including two load bearing projections with which connector 175 can couple as fig3 and 4 illustrate apparatus 100 enables users to control the extending and retracting functions of the strut arms of apparatus 100 using a remote control transmitter 195 remote control transmitter 195 is configured to communicate with remote control receiver 190 via wireless data connection by allowing users to control the extending and retracting functions of the strut arms the remote control mechanism of apparatus 100 allows users to adjust shoring plates to a proper shoring position within a trench without physically entering the trench when apparatus 100 is to be removed from the trench the remote control mechanism further allows users to adjust the shoring plates to a proper removal insertion position as fig2 shows major vertical arm 125 extends from an arm upper end 127.
