Piling Equipment Product Hire

Our Piling Equipment

Piletec is the UK and Ireland’s leading specialist provider of Piling & Foundation equipment to the construction, civil engineering, utilities and marine sectors. Piletec's comprehensive range of piling equipment is from reputable UK and European manufacturers, ensuring high levels of equipment reliability and safety.

Piling Hammer (EMV)

The Piling Hammer (EMV) is a vibratory attachment for excavators, engineered for fast and cost-effective driving and extraction of sheet piles in cohesive or granular soils. Its high power-to-weight ratio and adjustable vibration frequency allow for rapid pile installation while minimising noise and ground disturbance. It can easily be attached to an excavator, either via a direct mount to the dipper arm or the Piletec VibroSafe Quick Hitch Adaptor (or other suitable option).

Side Grip Piling Hammer

The Side Grip Piling Hammer is an excavator-mounted vibratory pile hammer that can hold the pile or tube from the side and drive/pull the pile from this profile, meaning they are ideal when working in limited heights. The greatest advantage of the Side Grip Piling Hammer is that sheet piles can be used that are much longer than the reach of the excavator boom, meaning you can install and remove long sheet piles using your own excavator.

Impact Hammer

The Impact Hammer is specifically engineered for high-energy driving of steel tubes and sheet piles, It’s ideal for compact, rocky or stony soils where vibratory piling hammers can struggle to penetrate. Its robust hydraulic blow mechanism delivers strong single impacts, ensuring efficient penetration in challenging substrates. Designed for seamless Quick Hitch mounting, the hammer can be lifted from horizontal transport mode to vertical working position without manual handling, enhancing safety and efficiency on-site.

Larssen Sheet Piles

Larssen Piles are a type of sheet piling that has an interlocking section which forms a sheet piling retaining wall. Each sheet pile section is connected at 180 degrees from the previous one to form a uniform wall with alternating troughs and peaks. Larssen Sheet Piles are typically used in temporary or permanent cofferdams, retaining walls and foundation construction.

Gooseneck Extension

The Gooseneck Extension is used to extend the vibrator’s height and reach and is simply mounted on the jib of the excavator. This facility is particularly useful for driving longer piles in soft ground conditions where there is a need to reach over and down embankments or to clear obstructions etc. As well being compatible with the hammer models listed in the table above, the Gooseneck can also be used with the more powerful E5FM and E7FM Excavator Mounted Vibrators.

VibroSafe Quick Hitch Adaptor

The Piletec VibroSafe Quick Hitch Adaptor is a specially developed piece of equipment that is exclusive to Piletec. The VibroSafe connects Excavator Mounted Vibratory Hammers via the excavator’s quick hitch system. The adaptor comes pre-assembled; eliminating the need for the fitting or removal of bolts and pins. The VibroSafe can be used with 90% of all quick hitch systems from 12–25 tonne excavators.

Piletec 2-Stage Audible & Visual Alarm

This 2 stage unit is a plug-in audible visual alarm monitor for detecting and alerting personnel to undesirable site vibration levels. Audible Visual Alarms can be used to take avoiding action when vibration levels are approaching site limits.

Culvert Pullers

The Piletec Culvert Puller consists of a double acting ram unit, an Electro Hydraulic Powerpack, single and double leg certified Chains, pulling beam and specially fabricated foot plates to suit various designs of culvert profiles. The Culvert Puller increases productivity, improves efficiency, and is the most flexible unit on the market. The electrically driven system means there is no need for hazardous battery recharging.

Ratchet Release Shackle

A Ratchet Release Shackle is a piece of ancillary equipment which is specifically designed as a piling shackle for pitching trench sheets and piles using appropriate lifting equipment. This is a ground release shackle which enables sheet piles to be lifted vertically into temporary guides and then safely released from ground level once the sheet or pile is secured. Ground release shackle suppliers emphasise that to uphold the safe use of shackles, they must not be used for pile extraction.

V901 Vibration Monitor

The V901 is battery powered portable vibration monitoring equipment, purpose designed for ground vibration monitoring of blasting, piling, demolition, construction and traffic vibrations.

Vibration Monitor

The Piletec Vibration Monitor is the most efficient and high-quality vibration monitoring system on the market. Using Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, it takes accurate measurements and sends data wirelessly to the online web platform. The Piletec Vibration Monitor features fully integrated and automated solutions for the measurement, monitoring and reporting of vibration in the construction and infrastructure sectors. It is a compact and lightweight system with auto-axis alignment allowing it to be installed in any location and any orientation, including ceilings. A range of battery, mains and solar power options are available to facilitate a wide range of scenarios.
