Crane Vibration Dampener Uses only once. 85 T shackle Premium Quality More details: Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What vibratory hammers do these work on? Up to what size? A: The No-Shock will dampen up to 45 tons (90,000 lbs) of hanging weight. Therefore it will work on any size vibratory driver/extractor as long as the overall hanging weight does not exceed 45 tons. Max line pull it can handle is 175 US tons. Q: Tunkers and ICE dampeners are a lot lighter in weight, why is the no-shock so heavy? A: The 4,300 lbs of the no-shock compared to 1,800 lbs or so of the competition is by design. The extra weight allows for effective dampening of startup and shutdown, it takes the shock so your crane does not. If the dampener is too light it won’t dampen as effectively and the boom of the crane will take the hit. Q: Can we rent the No-Shock? A: Yes, call for a quote in your area. Q: How long will it last? A: This machine will go at least 5 years without any need to maintain it other than periodically checking that the Ballast weight bolts are still tight. Competitive machines have many pins and wire ropes that can wear, break, or fall off, whereas the no-shock device is solid steel and essentially has no wear items other than the rubber elastomers that typically have a 5-10 year life. Q: Can this go underwater? A: Yes, the rubber elastomers we are using is Generation 5, meaning the chemical locking we are using on the elastomer is designed to go in the ocean for long durations without any impact. Q: How do I rig it to my vibro? A: We have a rigging team that can help you, typically they are rigged to the hammer with a braided wire rope and remain connected to the Vibro for the duration of the job.

Vibratory hammers drive and extract sheet piles, H-piles, tubes and casing by shaking them into the ground rather than striking them. Rotating eccentric weights generate vibration that temporarily reduces friction between the pile and the surrounding soil, letting the pile settle under its own weight and that of the hammer.
They work best in granular soils and are usually the quickest option for both driving and pulling sheets. Units are either suspended from a crane or mounted on an excavator, and most require a matched hydraulic power pack.
Frequently asked questions
What ground suits a vibratory hammer?
Granular soils such as sands and gravels, where vibration most effectively reduces friction along the pile. In stiff clays or dense ground an impact hammer is often the more reliable choice.
What is a variable moment vibratory hammer?
One that can adjust its eccentric moment while running, so it can start and stop without passing through the resonant frequencies that shake nearby structures. That makes it the usual choice for work close to existing buildings or buried services.
Should I choose an excavator-mounted or crane-suspended hammer?
Excavator-mounted units mobilise quickly and suit shorter sheets and confined sites. Crane-suspended units handle longer, heavier sections and greater depths. Your pile lengths and site access usually decide it.
What should I check on a used vibratory hammer?
Look at the condition of the clamp jaws and cylinders, since a worn clamp is the most common cause of a hammer slipping on the pile. Check the eccentric weight housing and bearings for play, and confirm a matched power pack is included — the two are rated as a pair.
