Product details
1. Steel Track
Heavy-duty steel tracks with triple grouser plates provide excellent traction on soft farmlands, sandy deserts, and rocky slopes.
Self-cleaning track design reduces mud and debris buildup, ensuring stable movement even in rice paddies or fish pond embankments.
Optional bolt-on rubber pads protect asphalt or concrete surfaces when working near residential or commercial rooftops.
2. Cab
Pressurized, dust-proof cab with UV-protected laminated glass – ideal for Gobi deserts and high-altitude solar farms.
ROPS/FOPS certified (Roll-Over / Falling-Object Protective Structure) for operator safety on uneven terrain.
Integrated heating and optional air conditioning for year‑round operation from -25°C to +50°C.
3. Control System
CAN-bus based intelligent control panel with a 7‑inch touchscreen display.
One‑touch automatic piling: set depth, inclination, and hammering frequency – the system records every pile’s GPS position, depth, and verticality.
Remote diagnosis and firmware update ready (4G/Wi-Fi optional), allowing overseas technical support.
4. Hydraulic System
Load-sensing hydraulic system with variable displacement piston pump – reduces fuel consumption by up to 18% compared to gear pump systems.
Independent cooling circuit prevents overheating during high‑density piling (suitable for 40°C continuous operation).
Pilot-operated proportional control ensures smooth and precise movements of mast, hammer, and track drive.
5. Hydraulic Hoses & Fittings
High-pressure spiral steel wire hoses (4-layer, DIN EN 853 4SP standard) – burst pressure up to 4,000 psi.
Abrasion-resistant outer cover and anti‑kink design for aggressive terrain.
All fittings are zinc‑nickel plated for corrosion resistance – essential for wet rice paddies and coastal solar projects.
6. Power Head / Piling Hammer
High-frequency hydraulic impact hammer with variable frequency adjustment (300 – 800 bpm).
Quick‑change pile cap system (flat, conical, and H‑beam caps included) – adapts to concrete piles, steel pipes, and U‑channel posts in seconds.
Built‑in shock absorber and vibration damping mounts protect the mast and slew bearing, extending machine life by 30%.
Scope of application
1. Large-Scale Ground-Mounted Solar Farms
Ideal for pile foundation installation of PV arrays in centralized solar farms, meeting the high-density and high-volume piling demands of utility-scale projects.
2. Agri-PV & Aqua-PV Projects (Crop / Fish Farm Integration)
Operates on soft farmland, fish ponds, and shallow water areas. With a crawler chassis and extended pile mast, it drives piles from above, minimizing land disturbance while supporting elevated solar structures.
