Service Training Completed at Giken Factory in Japan

Service Training Completed at Giken Factory in Japan

Service Training Completed at Giken Factory in Japan

Two of our Service Engineers have just completed a Service Training course at the Giken factory in Japan. Phil Elcock and Adam Walker passed with flying colours. Well done boys!
 
This bolsters our ability to solve service issues quickly and efficiently. Something which will come in handy as we have new model Giken silent pilers set to arrive in the UK very shortly. The first model F301 sold to Ivor King Piling weighs just 12 tons and can handle single Z piles up to 700 mm wide and single U profiles up to 750 mm wide. The first model F201 is due here next month available for sale or hire weighs just 10 tons and can handle single U profile piles up to 600 mm wide with 150 tons pressing force.
 
Neither of them compare in size to the big beastie that Phil and Adam saw during their recent trip. Photographed here the boys leave the factory after their 2 week course. The day before they witnesssed this incredible 120 tons tubular piler which can install up to 2.0 m diameter piles and in the foreground you can just see the 160 tons clamp crane manufactured by Giken to service it!

New Movax side grip machines added to hire fleet

Movax side grip vibros for hire

New Movax side grip machines added to hire fleet

We continue to invest in the latest state of the art equipment and our most recent purchases include a brace of Movax excavator mounted side grip vibrators.

Pictured here is the larger of the 2 machines. The Movax SG75TR is fitted to a Komatsu PC350NLC-8 with a special narrow track base of just 3.0 m making it an ideal machine for working alongside motorways, railways, canals and rivers. This machine has just done its first job. Extracting some sheet piles in Barrow in Furness, Cumbria.

The smaller unit is a Movax SG45 which we've mounted to a Hyundai R235LCR-9 zero tail swing excavator. Once again perfect for restricted access sites.

A further Komatsu PC350LC-8 excavator is available from our fleet with a brand new Fambo HR2750 hydraulic impact hammer and PR1100 leader. It combines well for back driving sheet piles and tubes previously pitched by the Movax units but not driven down to level.

All of these machines are available for hire nationwide with experienced CPCS qualified operators.

AGD supplies telescopic crawler crane on hire in the Falkland Islands

One of our 70 tons capacity Marchetti telescopic crawler cranes is pictured here working on a barge in the waters just off Port Stanley where it is on hire to Trant Engineering helping to construct a new jetty for the oil & gas exploration industry.

The machine left our yard almost a year ago and has been busy ever since it arrived in the Falkland Islands installing tubes with vibro and impact hammers plus general service crane duties.

AGD are used to working overseas having supplied many machines to all corners of the earth but this is certainly the first time we've ever been to the south Atlantic. This crane has been supplied with an operator as there is a shortage of qualified crane operators on the islands.
