Piling equipment

Piling equipment

Currently, multiple manufacturers offer vibrohammers with a side grip system for steel sheet piles. These machines are designed to be used on an excavator chassis and do not require a crane platform.
However, the common weakness of the vibrohammers currently available is that the vibrohammer’s centrifugal force axis does not coincide with the pile’s central axis. Which in practice reduces the efficiency of the whole piling process. So, the vibrohammer’s impact [centrifugal] force is transmitted to the pile body through the joints of the grip jaws but not directly through the centrifugal force axis. As a result of the misalignment of the axes of the centrifugal force and pile, the efficiency of the vibrohammer and the whole work, in general, is reduced.
In developed by us the new VHS-series vibrohammer, the centrifugal force [impact energy] is transmitted through the vibrohammer’s force axis directly to the pile without harmful energy loss due to misalignment of the axes of the force and pile, thus noticeably improving the efficiency of the equipment. As a result, our vibrohammer has a similar theoretical power output as competitors’ achieves on practice improved efficiency.
