What is a piling rig?
A piling rig, also known as a driving rig or piler, is a piece of heavy machinery used in construction to drive piles into the ground. Piles are structural elements that are used to support buildings, bridges, and other structures, and they are driven into the ground to provide stability and strength.
Piling rigs come in various sizes and designs, but they typically consist of a large base supported by tracks or wheels, a tall mast or boom, and a hydraulic hammer or drill attachment. The rig is operated by a skilled operator who controls the movement and function of the machine to ensure that the piles are driven into the ground at the correct depth and angle.
Some of Our Piling Rigs
At Aarsleff, we have access to an extensive range of high-performing piling machines and equipment. Some of our piling rigs include:
Junttan PMx22 - Piling Rig
- Average working weight: 64,000 kg
- Leader capacity: 16,000 kg
- Max pile length: 20 m
The Junttan PMx22 is a small piling rig used for driving timber, steel and concrete piles. This rig has proven productivity due to excellent mobility. The telescopic leader ensures easy and fast handling of piles. Its rugged design makes it safe and reliable, even in the most challenging working conditions. It is equipped with a self-erecting leader, optional side drill or vibrator piling hammer and other advanced technical features.
Banut 300 - Piling Rig
- Weight (without attachment): 25,500 kg
- Load capacity at minimum reach: 4,000 kg max.
- Engine power: 89 kW
The Banut 300 was designed and built by ABI in Germany to Aarsleff's specifications. It is equipped with a 2.5-tonne hydraulic hammer and a data recording facility. This piling rig has a reduced bearing pressure, giving significant cost savings with the platform requiring less material than alternative rigs traditionally used for housing schemes. The Banut 300 enables us to pile on restricted access sites and pitch a 9-metre-long pile, offering further savings with reduced joint costs. It can be on-site and operating within 30 minutes of arrival under the right conditions.
Banut 850 - Piling Rig
- Operational weight (without hammer): 63,500 kg
- Engine power: 182 kW
- Max pile length: 20 m
The Banut 850 is a fully hydraulic large-capacity piling rig. Equipped with extendable tracks, this allows the undercarriage to be almost quadratic which results in a stable rig with a one-piece (not telescopic) leader. This enables the rig to drive or vibrate heavy piles or sheet piles. The engine is capable of running hydraulic hammers of various types, or a bore motor. As standard, this piling rig is equipped with a 6-tonne hydraulic hammer. When equipped with a vibrator, the additional power pack can be fitted to the rear of the rig, allowing it to operate as one unit.
Liebherr LB24 - Drilling and Piling Rig
- Weight (without attachment or counterweight): - 54,800 kg
- Total height: 75 ft
- Engine power: 320 kW
The Liebherr LB24 is used for the execution of drilling, continuous flight auger piles, drilling with partial or full displacement tools, double rotary drilling and soil mixing. This drilling and piling rig can also be used for installing both CFA piles and large-diameter rotary bored piles. It has a high engine output with automatic engine speed control. Its sturdy and solid design allows for high alignment forces, simultaneous control of several moments via load-sensing multi-circuit hydraulics as well as high pull and push forces that enable quick assembly of rotary.
Other Equipment
Alongside our extensive range of piling rig machines in various sizes and specifications, we also have a wide range of specialist piling equipment to suit specific project requirements.
