Flexible and versatile
With the PDX Pile Driving Machine, a standard crane is easily converted into a foundation machine. In Van den Heuvel’s workshop, the machine is equipped with a special leader suspension, suitable for both tubular and lattice leaders. In addition, a sliding table with two guide beams is mounted on the side of the crane. This offers maximum accuracy and flexibility during foundation work.
Extra functions and configuration
In addition to the basic equipment, the PDX Pile Driving Machine is expanded with extra hydraulic functions, operating options and possibly additional winches. If necessary, extra ballast can be added, or replaced by a power pack frame. It is also possible to place a power pack frame on top of the counterweight. This makes the machine fully configurable to the requirements of the project.
Large batter piles
The PDX Pile Driving Machine distinguishes itself by the possibility of larger batter piles than the PD variant. By mounting cylinders on the boom that support the rear of the machine, the sliding table is optimally utilized. With the help of outriggers at the rear, the boom can even move through the dead center, making maximum batter piles up to 3:1 achievable both forwards and backwards.
Safety and deployability
The PDX Pile Driving Machine is designed with attention to safety and complies with the EN16228 standard. Thanks to the lowerable leader and the large working range, the machine is ideal for use on challenging projects, such as foundation work from pontoons or in confined spaces.
