Leads & Spotters
ProductsStandard Box Leads are available in seven sizes to fit all job and hammer requirements across Fixed and Swinging configurations.
See below for specifications and options.
Check out the brochure for more images and examples.
Specialty Leads includes Front Riding ST Leads and Offshore solutions.
Front Riding Leads are used when it makes sense to have the hammer, auger, or drill positioned in front of the supporting leads set up. Often used for low headroom job sites with an excavator but also used with cranes based on the job at hand. Give us a call and we'll gladly discuss your best options and availability.
Offshore equipment can help stabilize for more precision and safety near and over the water.
Pin on Bells are affixed to the base of the Leads set up, and the pile is positioned inside the bell to offer more stability. Bells are complete circles, slightly different from a Pile Gate that opens on a hinge. Bottom Drive assembly helps when impacting large diameter piles over the water, usually driven with a template, and adjustable to fit.

Spotters, also known as catwalks or lead braces, can be extended or telescoped to a variety of lengths and are used to hold the leads vertical for driving bearing piles or to hold them at an angle for driving batter piles.
