Every country has their own construction habits, but excavator mounted vibratory hammers are popular everywhere. In the Netherlands steel sheet piles are often chosen for permanent retaining walls. Dutch clients also choose Resonance Free excavator mounted vibratory hammers, choosing the 8RFB model that does not swivel, but picks up the pile with a lifting chain. In the pictures accompanying this article we can see the baby vibro gripping two sheet piles across the interlock and driving them together.

Even within China practices differ, the mainland China markets wants RFSH swivel hammers while the customers in Hong Kong insist on working with RFB models. As a multinational player with clients across the world, we of course try to offer what the market requests. The 8RFSH model meets mainland Chinese needs while in HK clients choose the 8RFB.

The 8SG is the third version of the ICE 8kgm vibro hammer and completes our product line-up. It is a side grip hammer that is recommended for driving very long piles, small casings, and when working with limited overhead space.

Like all ICE hammers, ICE excavator mounted hammer’s gearcases are made to exacting quality standards. Each gear fits within the exact tolerance and comes with a custom-fit bearing cover. This ensures our vibro’s last for decades. The clamp housings are made out of one piece, and the dimensions of the hammer guarantee the hammer is highly maneuverable between the piles.
