A carriage assembly for suspending and supporting trench shields in an excavated trench has an axle member that spans the trench, a wheel assembly on each end of the axle member, a pair of bracket elements on the axle member and a support member depending from each bracket element for connection to a trench shield. The wheel assemblies have wheels that rotate with respect to the bracket elements and engage the surface of the ground laterally adjacent the trench. Adjustments are provided to selectively vary the spacing of the wheels and the bracket elements.
