4-Horn Trench & Shoring, the leading provider of trench safety equipment, road plates, and engineered shoring solutions for underground construction, announces its expansion to the Midwest with the opening of a new facility in Omaha, Neb. The new branch includes a 31,754 square-foot fully fenced laydown yard and a 4,400-square-foot building that combines warehouse and office space to support ongoing growth. The branch is conveniently positioned to access major Midwestern markets, including Des Moines, Iowa, (two hours away) and Kansas City, Mo., (two and a half hours away).

The Omaha location marks a key milestone for 4-Horn Trench & Shoring as its ninth location nationwide and its second branch in the Midwest, joining the existing site in Inver Grove Heights, Minn. Other branches are strategically located in major service hubs including Sulphur and Bossier City, La.; and Houston, Beaumont, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth, Texas. Operations at the new branch will be led by regional manager Josh Ritter and branch manager Brantly Bagby.

“We’ve had our eye on Omaha for a while,” said Rhett Lasserre, CEO. “It’s the right place for us to grow and keep serving customers who’ve trusted 4-Horn Trench & Shoring for years. We’ve built a strong team here that’s ready to deliver the dependable equipment and service our customers count on every day.” 

With a full inventory of trench shields, manhole shields, sheet pile, hydraulic shoring, modular boxes, road plates, and other equipment, 4-Horn Trench & Shoring is ready to serve a wide range of customer needs throughout the Midwest. The company’s focus on quick response, reliable service, and readily available inventory ensures support for everything from general construction to municipal, pipeline, and industrial projects.

“Opening this branch is an exciting step for our team and for our customers in the region,” said Josh Ritter, regional manager. “The Omaha location gives us the opportunity to strengthen relationships with existing partners while meeting the needs of new projects across the Midwest. We’re ready to hit the ground running with the same dedication and responsiveness our customers count on.”

This expansion aligns with 4-Horn Trench & Shoring’s long-term strategy to grow its national footprint and deliver exceptional service to customers across North America.
