A pile hammer should be selected by excavator operating weight, pile profile, pile length, soil condition and required centrifugal force. The clamp type must match the pile material and shape.
Key Selection Factors
Carrier weight determines the hammer size and hydraulic requirement.
Sheet pile, pipe pile and H-beam profiles need different clamps.
Longer piles usually need stronger vibration and better clamping force.
Soft soil, sand, clay and mixed ground require different driving energy.
Side grip and top clamp styles serve different site access conditions.
Stable flow and pressure are required for consistent vibration.
Why Excavator weight Matters
Carrier weight determines the hammer size and hydraulic requirement. This point should be confirmed before production so the attachment can be matched to the real carrier and jobsite.
How to Check Pile profile
Sheet pile, pipe pile and H-beam profiles need different clamps. Clear photos, machine information and simple notes make the matching process faster for overseas buyers.
Final Check Before Ordering
Confirm excavator model, operating weight, attachment configuration, hydraulic requirement, dimensions if available, quantity and destination before placing the order.
