VDH Hammers have been continuously developed over the years based on practical experience and user feedback. Their simple but efficient construction ensures exceptional reliability, even under intensive conditions. Thanks to this proven technology, the hammers can be used for a variety of light foundation projects.

Noise-reducing innovation

With an eye to the future, Van den Heuvel is working on the development of noise-reducing hammers. This innovation responds to the growing demand for quieter foundation solutions, making VDH Hammers a sustainable choice both now and in the future.

Long service life and easy maintenance

A major advantage of the VDH Hammers – 500 to 2500 kg – is their long service life and low maintenance requirements. Repairs are rarely necessary, and should maintenance be required, it can be carried out directly in the field. Thanks to the smart design, hammer cylinders, hoses and accumulators are easy to replace on site. This shortens downtime and reduces costs considerably.

Application on small machines

The small VDH Hammers are specially designed for use on foundation machines and excavators with a lower drop weight. Thanks to two cylinders on the outside, they are ideal for driving wooden posts or short piles. This flexibility makes the hammers particularly suitable for contractors working with compact equipment.

Key benefits

• Efficient, simple construction
• High reliability and low maintenance requirements
• Lightweight and easy to assemble
• Free fall cylinders (less oil required)
• Long service life and field repairs possible
• Ideally suited for light foundation and excavation work

With their combination of simplicity, reliability and flexibility, the VDH Hammers – 500 t/m 2500 kg are a sustainable choice for light foundation work and projects where efficiency and low costs are key.

The VDH Hammers – 3 to 9 tons – are the result of years of experience and practice-oriented development. Their simple but efficient construction makes them reliable machines with a long service life. Thanks to their robust construction, they are suitable for intensive use on the most demanding projects.

Power through accelerated cylinder

A distinctive feature of these hammers is the accelerated cylinder. Instead of just free fall, the drop weight is actively pushed down. This creates extra impact force, which ensures optimum energy transfer to piles (for concrete) or tubes (for steel). This significantly improves the efficiency and quality of the work.

Flexible frame options

The hammers are available in various frame lengths, with the 3, 5, 7 and 9 ton frames as a base. In addition, versions are available with a drop height of 1200 mm for concrete and 1500 mm for steel. This makes the hammer easily adaptable to specific project requirements.

Durability and maintenance

The VDH Hammers – 3 to 9 tons – have a long service life and require little maintenance. Any repairs can easily be carried out in the field, minimizing downtime and costs. This makes them particularly attractive to contractors working under time pressure.

Key benefits

• Efficient, robust hammer
• High reliability in practice
• Accelerated cylinder for maximum energy transfer
• Flexible and modular construction
• Continuously adjustable drop height
• Long service life and low maintenance costs
• Repair possible in the field

With their robust construction, innovative technology and high reliability, the VDH Hammers – 3 to 9 tons are the ideal choice for contractors who need powerful, flexible and durable pile drivers for a wide range of applications.

The VDH Hammers – 10 to 18 tons – have been developed based on decades of practical experience. Their simple but efficient design has been further refined over the years, resulting in high reliability and a long service life. These hammers are designed to perform heavy work under demanding conditions.

Double accelerated cylinders

An important feature of these hammers is the use of two accelerated cylinders. Instead of a free fall, the drop weight is actively pushed down, transferring significantly more energy to the pile or tube. This results in more impact force, higher efficiency and better quality of work.

Flexible frames and versions

The VDH Hammers are available in various frame lengths, with the 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 ton frames serving as a base. In addition, there are versions with a drop height of 1200 mm for concrete and 1500 mm for steel. Thanks to these variation options, the hammers can be optimally tailored to the specific requirements of each project.

Durability and maintenance

The VDH Hammers – 10 to 18 tons – have a long service life and require little maintenance. Any repairs can easily be carried out in the field, minimizing downtime and keeping costs down. This makes the hammers particularly attractive to contractors who need robust and efficient solutions.

Key benefits

• Efficient, robust hammer
• High reliability and long service life
• Two accelerated cylinders for maximum impact force
• Flexible and modular construction
• Continuously adjustable drop height
• Long service life and low maintenance costs
• Repair possible in the field

With their robustness, flexibility and impact force, the VDH Hammers – 10 to 18 tons are the perfect choice for heavy foundation work where maximum performance and reliability are required.
