The APE 250V Rattles California
Reported From: APE Western (CA)
The APE model 250V (Variable Moment) vibro is a work of modern wonder with it’s 4,500 in-lbs of eccentric moment producing an abundant 250 tons of driving force. Yes, this modern wonder of excitement is a beauty to see in action. With the APE model 630 power unit (C-18 Cat, Tier 3 Certified with 630 horse power) pushing this beauty, it has a splendid action of ease and comfort. So smooth during start and stops that the crane doesn’t even know it has anything on the hook. This is all due to the APE phase shifter. The phase shifter enables you to start the vibro at full speed with no vibration at all. As you phase the vibro into action the smooth and efficient moment comes as the vibro shakes the pile in the ground. Hit the “Turbo” button this Baby shakes to a massive 2,000 vibrations per minute! Great for the difficult clay soils, the extra speed helps to penetrate the toughest ground. This machine is perfect for those sensitive driving conditions where you need to eliminate the vibrations to the surrounding area, thanks to the exciting new phase shifter. Talk about exciting, just ask my wife Kristi, who was on hand to watch this puppy in action! Even as the 250V was phased out to eliminate the shake out of the boom during stopping, My Gal was still revved up! Guys, I encourage you to take your Gal on a vibro date, it could be interesting and exciting, especially when stacked up with an APE 250V Variable Moment Vibro!
*Special thanks to Mike Brenner Jr. of American Civil Constructors for putting the 250V into action on the West Coast in California!
Thanks Mike!
