The machine can pile thanks to the mounted pile hammer, drill using a drill motor that can be mounted, and a vibratory hammer can be installed in the machine for vibrating various types of sheet piles. Due to its compactness and short turning circle, the PV15 can do its work while the tracks next to it can remain operational. This ensures increased productivity. In addition, the PV15 can erect under high-voltage lines, eliminating the need to remove the machine from the track for piling work.
The PV15 is self-propelled, both on rails and on tracks. In the VDH workshop, the machine is equipped with a self-propelled rail system, so that the machine does not have to be pushed or pulled by another train set. In addition, a leader, hammer, sliding table, winches and extra ballast are added. A standard excavator can also be equipped with this, although VDH prefers a machine selected by themselves.
Despite the machine being so compact, the PV15 can drive piles of various lengths up to a maximum of 7.5 meters. This is due to the height-adjustable 3-fold leader specially developed by VDH. Different drive caps can also be used on the machine. This allows both square piles and piles with threaded ends to be driven into the ground.
