Pile Driver Sales And Its Different Types

By Nancy Patterson


A pile driver is one type of a mechanical device which is being used to drive piles or poles to soil so that the foundation of buildings and other structures will be provided with support. A pile driver may also refer to a person or to a crew who is working in a particular construction and works in the rigs for driving. Those old equipment that are utilized before are done either with animal or manual labor when heavy weights are lifted using pulleys.

Modern equipment have been using a lot of different methods for raising and guiding the weight of a pole. However, this equipment also have negative to the environment. One common issue that a pile driver sales is facing is the sound pressure in underwater that is caused by the pile driving can be very deleterious to fishes, especially when it is done adjacent to waters for fish bearing.

The pile drivers are consist of some different types that include VTL system, hydraulic press in, piling rig, diesel hammer, hydraulic hammer, and vibratory pole driver or extractor. Modern types of diesel hammers contain two large sized engines. Piston is the term that refers to its weight and cylinder refers to an apparatus that is being connected into the pole part. The fuel is being injected or is being added into the apparatus or cylinder.

The VTL system or the vertical travel lead system is being developed because of fundamental limitations of swinging lead and fixed lead systems. Fixed lead systems are suited for those job sites having few obstructions and have the advantages for a faster lead positioning. Hanging leads may be adaptable to into better piles and different elevations but it will take longer when positioned.

Modernized types of hydraulic hammers were utilized as a replacement of hammer and diesel types in driving the timber piles, precast concrete, and steel pipes. This is the most acceptable type according to environmental aspects when compared to the old types. This is because of its less pollutants and less noise.

A hydraulic press in is a type that install piles by using a hydraulic ram in pressing piles in to the ground. This is usually preferred to be used when vibrations are required. This allows also to have a greater press amount and greater amount in force extraction. The methods together with its equipment were being classified into some portions on the system for internal drainage.

The vibratory pile hammer is consist of a system that is being powered by a hydraulic motor. This is designed for letting the horizontal vibrations be canceled out and the vertical vibrations will be transmitted to the pole. This machine will be lifted and will positioned over a pole with the use of a crane or an excavator. It is then fastened into pole using clamps or bolts.

A piling rig is one machine which is often utilized for constructions in piling for the foundation engineering. To perform a drill in clay, sandy soil, silty clay, etc. Is its main purpose. It is commonly used for foundation reinforcement, diaphragm walls, place piles, etc. And other foundation projects.

Piling rigs operation make use of load sensors and also hydraulic pilot controls in its application, thus, making it easier if controlled. Most common uses may include in civil buildings and industrial buildings, expressways, water projects, etc. Piling rigs have the sizes of small, medium, and large sizes.
