Pile Driver Sales And Its Different Types

By Nancy Patterson


Pile drivers are mechanical devices which are used for driving the piles or the poles into the soil in order to provide the foundation for the support of structures such as buildings. This term is used also to refer to people or to crews working on a construction and are assigned to the rigs for pile driving. The ancient equipment that is used for this utilizes either a manual or an animal labor for lifting the heavy weights by the use of pulleys.

An equipment which is used nowadays are utilizing the new methods in raising and guiding pole weights. However, the equipment may impose negative effects towards the environment. Underwater sound pressure is the most common problem for pile driver sales because of pile driving. Due to this reason, the lives underwater can be damaged especially in the fish bearing waters.

Pile drivers are composed of different types which include diesel hammer, VTL system, hydraulic hammer, hydraulic press in, vibratory pole extractor or driver, and piling rig. The modern type of a diesel hammer contains two large engines. Its weight is called the piston and its apparatus which is connected to part of pole is called the cylinder. Its fuel is in injected or added to cylinder.

Because the systems such as the fixed and the swinging lead are provided with some fundamental limitations, a vertical travel lead system or VTL system was developed. A fixed lead system fits in construction sites in which there are few obstructions only and there is an advantage of faster operations of lead positioning. A hanging lead is being adapted as used for having different elevations and also better piles. A disadvantage of this is it takes longer during the positioning.

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 installs the piles with the use of hydraulic rams in order to press the piles to the ground. Usually, this is preferred when vibration is to be considered. This will also allow a greater level of press in and also greater amount of force extraction. The equipment and as well as its methods were specified into different portions of internal drainage systems.

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.

The operation of piling rigs are being applied with hydraulic pilot controls and load sensors, and thus, it makes it easier to be controlled. Common uses for this are for expressways, civil and industrial buildings, water projects, etc. A piling rig comes into three different sizes which are the small sized, middle sized, and large sized rigs.
