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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Double accelerated cylinders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flexible frames and versions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"963\" src=\"https:\/\/vdhmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plomp-hamer-12-ton-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"VDH Hammers &#x2013; 10 to 18 tons\" class=\"wp-image-963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vdhmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plomp-hamer-12-ton-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vdhmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plomp-hamer-12-ton-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vdhmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plomp-hamer-12-ton-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/vdhmachinery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Plomp-hamer-12-ton.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Durability and maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The VDH Hammers \u2013 10 to 18 tons \u2013 have a long service life and require little maintenance.
