Power and capacity

The XLR Piling Rig distinguishes itself through its robust construction and high impact force. Thanks to the fixed long leader, the heavy suspension point, and the stable base, this machine is stronger and more multifunctional than PD and PDX piling rigs. The XLR delivers sufficient capacity to effortlessly pull tubes out of the ground, making it the ideal solution for the most demanding foundation projects.

Designed for heavy work

The machine is built on the basis of a standard crane from a top brand, which is completely converted into an XLR piling rig in the VDH workshop. By removing the boom and permanently mounting the leader, the machine is exclusively focused on foundation work and drilling applications. This makes the XLR Piling Rig suitable for precast piles, vibro piles, MV piles, and vibration-free drilled pile systems.

Stability and batter piles

One of the biggest advantages of the XLR Piling Rig is its enormous stability, both plumb and in batter. Forward and backward batter piles up to 3:1 are possible as standard. With a special version, the machine can even work backward in a 1:1 batter. Sideways batter piles are also easily achieved, making the machine widely applicable in challenging construction projects.

Configurable and safe

The XLR Piling Rig is available in 130 and 180-ton versions, allowing it to be optimally tailored to the requirements of the project. In addition, the machine is EN16228 certified, which guarantees maximum safety and reliability during use. Thanks to its versatile configuration and high capacity, the XLR Piling Rig is a future-proof investment.
