Model 170VM (Variable Moment)
with Model 375 Power Unit



  • Rifle-bored top plate delivers oil to motors without using hoses
  • Patented one piece helical gear/eccentric eliminates gearbox failures
  • 80% less hoses for easier and less expensive maintenance
  • Giant double roller spherical bearings for super long life
  • Center safety pin shows the line load on pile and crane
  • Over double the line pull of any hammer in its class
  • Jaws are cast from ASTM 148 and heat treated for long life.
  • Rubber elastomers are specially made to prevent shock to the crane boom. APE's elastomers are the largest in the industry.
