Movable consolidating trestle for securing the excavating edge

摘要

The movable consolidating trestle (2) has driven caterpillars (1). The consolidating trestle comprises a cap (3) being supported on the frame (11) via props (5). The cap (3) has at least one front-side section which is bent, rounded or bendable in direction to the frame. A bent section (8) includes with the plane of the cap (3) an angle () which is greater than the maximum angle () of inclination with which the cap can be obliquely adjusted relative to the frame (11). When giving the cap (3) an inclined position, there results a horizontal component of the load-exerting force (14), said horizontal component facilitating saving of the consolidating trestle.
