Vibro hammer PTC 24 HFV

The vibro hammers available for rent at Foundiz are specially designed for use in combination with a crane or piling equipment. With these vibro hammers, piles and sheet piles can be vibrated into the ground or recovered by extraction. The foundation elements can be picked up using a chain, grommet, or special lifting tools and then gripped with the powerful hydraulic clamp. Once properly clamped, the foundation element can be driven into the ground using high-frequency vibrations. When used in a free-suspended application with a crane, the vibro hammer exerts downward pressure with its own weight, allowing the foundation element to be driven into the ground even faster with this additional downward force. If the vibro hammer is used lead-guided in piling equipment, an additional downward force can also be exerted using a so-called pull-down force, causing the foundation element to sink faster or allowing solid soil layers to be better penetrated. Numerous other foundation techniques can be realized with hydraulic vibro hammers, such as deep compaction, vibrating auxiliary casings for drilling work, and installing vertical screens in the soil.

Advantages
