Hydraulic Impact Hammers
ProductsAPE hydraulic impact hammers are made for short head room operations. They incorporate a hydraulic cylinder that lifts the ram from the bottom, thus eliminating the need for a tall hammer. Rams are one piece. There are no sensors to break due to a new check valve system developed by APE.

Refusal Criteria for Hydraulic Impact Hammers
Do not exceed 10 blows per inch or 120 blower per foot.
In cases of setting of the pile, it is permitted to increase the blow count to 240 blows per foot for no more than 6 inches of pile penetration.
Pile inspectors should consult APE factory for permission to exceed these limits. Failure to do so will void the warranty. This standard specification is accepted by the Deep Foundations Institute (DFI), the Pile Driving Contractors Association (PDCA), and by all manufacturers of pile driving equipment.
