EMV EXCAVATOR MOUNTED VIBRATOR

Dawson excavator mounted vibrators have been designed specifically to work in place of an excavator bucket to drive and extract piles. The pile can be lifted to vertical using the built-in lifting chain where it is then gripped tightly in a powerful hydraulic jaw. Once secured, the pile is then vibrated with high frequency vibrations so as to ‘fluidise’ the soil resisting the pile. Down-crowd force applied by the excavator boom, coupled with the self-weight of the pile and the vibrator, provides sufficient force to push the pile into the ground. Naturally, the process works in reverse for pile extraction. The equipment offers a highly productive and cost effective piling rig based around a standard, readily available excavator!
