Product Description
Our excavator-mounted Dawson Vibro Hammers provide a flexible and low-vibration solution for waterway piling. Designed to replace a standard excavator bucket, these compact vibratory hammers drive and extract trench sheets, steel piles, timber posts, and more with minimal disruption.

Fits 5–25t excavators
Drives trench sheets, timber, steel & plastic piles

Excavator or crane mounted
Low vibration, compact design
INFORMATION SHEETS
We offer several different models, including:
EMV70 – ideal for smaller tasks using 5-12 tonne excavators
EMV220 – provides slightly more force without demanding more machine capacity
EMV300 – designed for heavy-duty works; pairs with 13-25 tonne machines and can drive Larssen and other mid-weight piles
All models are LOLER-certified, utilise an automatic hydraulic clamp, and require no electrical power. Universal joint suspension makes alignment easier, and the compact profile maximises pile length even in restricted locations. It’s the ideal machine for driving piles deep into river beds, canals, and non-marine environments. The slim body suits single sheet pile work, while a high power-to-weight ratio delivers fast, efficient results.
With minimal vibration transmitted to the excavator and fast attachment switching, these vibro hammers are ideal for canal piling, bank stabilisation, lock works, and more, especially on sites where access is tight and downtime needs to be kept to a minimum.
