Product Description
Our hydraulic piling hammers offer a clean, efficient, and low-vibration solution for driving all common pile types. Reliable and versatile, these hammers can be mounted to an excavator or free-hanging from a crane, letting you install piles close to or far from the shoreline.

INFORMATION SHEETS
We offer two models to suit different ground conditions:
TR1 – used for driving L8 sheets up to 2.4m in length. Ideal in softer ground conditions.
TR2 – stronger and more powerful. Used for driving L8 sheet over 2.4m in length and for hard ground conditions.
Powered by onboard or standalone hydraulic systems, they eliminate the need for a compressor and produce no exhaust gas. We recommend these hammers for environmentally sensitive or enclosed waterway sites, as they’re less demanding overall.
Each unit features adjustable stroke and frequency controls, giving you full command over impact strength and speed. Interchangeable inserts allow for quick adaptation to RSJs, timber, steel, or post installations.
Simple to operate, easy to maintain, and highly cost-effective. These hammers are a top choice for canal maintenance, river piling, and bank protection projects across the inland network.
