Side Grip, Impact Hammer & Precast Rigs
AGD Rental were the first piling equipment hire company in the UK to offer pile driving rigs for rental and we have being doing so for 25 years. We have recently invested in 8 brand new hammers and now offer a range of excavator mounted pile driving rigs using both side grip vibro and impact hammer technologies.
Featured in a video below is one of our SMS side grip vibros mounted on a Hyundai HX330L excavator installing 8 m long U profile sheet piles in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The sheet piles are being used to construct a retaining wall for a railway embankment. A photo shows it with the impact hammer mounted, back driving the piles to finished level.
The new Hyundai HX330L excavators of which we have three, all with tier 4 engine can also be set up to drive steel tubular piles, precast concrete piles and wooden piles as well as sheet piles and H piles with our accelerated INPIEQ CPE15 and CPE22 hydraulic impact hammers. With it's quick hitch system it is a perfect partner to switch from the SMS side grip vibro to the impact hammer to back drive piles to a set or to level, as it is light and easy to transport and can be delivered to site quickly and economically. We have machines available fitted with rubber tracks for working on roads or other finished surfaces. Click on the link below to see a video of the impact hammer in action driving sheet piles to final level.
All of our excavators can be supplied with dangle drills for pre-augering harder soils. Click on the links below to download specs on both models we have available, the larger of which is one of the most powerful on the market, with 3.1 ton metres of torque. This can also be used with larger diameter augers up to 600 mm for drilling holes for king post installations on embankments where a standard drilling rig might not be able to access site.
Our latest investment is a Doosan DX340LC-5 excavator with stage 4 engine fitted with a Movax SG75TR side grip vibrator.
We alos have a Pajot 1200C air hammer for back driving sheet piles in restricted access or if only a small amount of back driving is required. The photo shows it suspended from an excavator back driving sheet piles in a restricted access city centre site. We also have helmets available for driving small diameter tubular piles with the same air hammer. Click on the link below to see some videos of this air hammer in operation. We can also draw from Pajot's fleet of other air hammers and extractors to hire out as required.
All of our excavator mounted driven piling rigs are available for hire nationwide with experienced CPCS qualified operators. We also have PTS operators for railway work.
We also have an RTG RM20 driven piling rig for hire with experienced operators. This machine is suitable for driving precast concrete and steel tubular piles up to 18 m long and is equipped with a 5 tons accelerated impact hammer. it can also be configured to operate a DTH hammer to install piles on a forward or backward rake. Check out the videos below and you can see one in action.
Additionally any of our RTG telescopic leader rigs may be hired with MR150AVM 150 tons vibro and a 5 tons Fambo HR5000 hydraulic hammer for installation and back driving of sheet piles, H beams and tubes as required.
