Contact usVibratory 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.
