SEATTLE, WA — Sunstate Equipment Co., LLC announces the acquisition of Trenchman Shoring, a trench safety equipment rental provider serving the greater Seattle, Washington, metroplex. This strategic expansion strengthens Sunstate’s presence in Washington and reinforces its commitment to delivering rental solutions across the region.
Trenchman Shoring is a full-service trench and excavation safety provider based in Olympia, Washington, with an additional yard in Pasco, Washington. With over 25 years of experience delivering trench shoring, shielding, and rescue-ready solutions, the company specializes in onsite consultation, equipment rental, and safety training tailored for utility contractors, municipalities, and civil infrastructure projects.
Through this integration, customers gain access to Sunstate’s multi-state branch network, service and support, an expanded selection of rental equipment, and technology enhancements. While Trenchman Shoring’s team will continue delivering the same service, they will now have the added resources and support of a larger organization.
“We are excited to welcome Trenchman Shoring to the Sunstate family," said Norty Turner, Sunstate President and CEO. "This acquisition expands our trench shoring capabilities and strengthens our ability to support customers across the region with enhanced expertise, faster response times, and a broader lineup of safe, reliable solutions. Together, we’re making it even easier for our customers to get the trench equipment and support they need across the Pacific Northwest.”
"Joining Sunstate allows us to grow and expand without compromising what matters most — safety, service, and our people,” said Brian Garlinghouse, Founder of Trenchman Shoring. “Our customers can expect the same trusted team and expertise, but now supported by Sunstate’s expanded network and resources. This is a win for our employees, our customers, and the future of our business."
