This is currently the smallest piling attachments we offer, providing a 7 tonne vibratory force at a weight of 530 kgs. This attachment can be mounted on to excavators from 5 - 20 tonnes.
It is ideally suited to installing trench sheeting, plastic piling and timber posts. APE has made a number of pile caps and mandrels to maximise the number of sections that can be driven using this device. In terms of mandrels, this equipment is suitable for use with sidesleeves and internal mandrels, but does not have the force to operate the heavier full section mandrels.
The was the equipment selected and supplied by APE for the ground support installation at the Cheltenham Underground House, as shown on Channel Four' Grand Designs.
