Fambo excavator mounted piling attachments sold to Steel Pile Installations
Nationwide piling contractor Steel Pile Installations recently took delivery of a new excavator mounted Fambo HR2750 piling hammer complete with PR1100 leader. The equipment was fitted onto one of SPI's New Holland E385 hydraulic excavators.
Pictured here back driving sheet piles interlocked with tubular piles for a combi wall the hammer has a ram weight of 2750 kgs with 28500 nM of energy and a stroke of 1.2 m. Fambo's specially designed lead filled hammer bodies are extremely efficient as the "dwell" time of the piston on the anvil is greater compared to steel resulting in a greater level of energy transfer to the pile.
Fambo hammers are suitable for driving pre cast concrete, steel tubular, H section, timber and sheet piles and are available with ram weights from 500 to 10000 kgs.
IHI CCH300T telescopic crawler crane supplied to Kaymac Marine on barge at Conwy
Swansea based Kaymac Marine & Civil Engineering recently placed an order with us to supply a 30 tons capacity IHI CCH300T telescopic crawler crane to work on a barge in the river at Conwy in North Wales.
The crawler crane was used to dismantle units from the railway tunnel and access from the water was the only option. The telesopic crawler crane was perfect for the application as once the work was done the operator was able to retract his boom and the barge could be tugged under the bridge, whereas a traditional lattice boom crawler crane would have required de-rigging.
IHI DCH700 HD crawler crane supplied to Carillion Piling for rig application
AGD Equipment regularly hire heavy duty crawler cranes to piling contractors for mounting bored piling rigs on. Pictured here is one of our 70 tons capacity heavy duty IHI DCH700 hydraulic crawler cranes fitted with a Soilmec RT3/S on hire to Carillion Piling at a project in Birmingham.
The 17 tons free fall winches with heavy duty friction clutches and brakes fitted to the IHI DCH700 crawler crane make it an ideal machine for handling crane mounted large diameter bored piling rigs.
For longer kelly bar applications we also run a fleet of larger capacity IHI DCH800 crawler cranes which have 21 tons free fall winches. These machines are suitable for drilling depths up to 60 m.
Machines can be supplied with or without operators, giving the piling contractor total flexibility.
