Dozens of APE 200 Vibratory Pile Driver/Extractors Rushed to UAE
MASSIVE FAILURES OF OUR COMPETITION’S MACHINES PROMPTS APE BUILD UP IN UAE
APE Austria has begun a massive shipment of new APE Model 200 vibratory pile driver/extractors to the UAE. This is in response to recent electronic and overheating of our competition’s so-called new units in hot weather conditions. APE machines are will known for their simplicity and ability to handle both the hot Saudi Arabian sun and the cold of Alaska. The secret is our unique kidney loop cooling circuit which can be reversed in cold weather.
APE units come with massive heat exchangers and a special kidney loop oil cooling system that keeps the machine running even in 125 degree temperatures. APE developed a simple electrical system to mate with the advanced Tier III CAT engines. We avoided adding fancy touch screen panels that are subject to code failures that shut the unit down and require re-programming to get started again. APE machines are simple yet advanced. Our hydraulic gauges are old school simple yet our CAT Electronics are fuel efficient.
Our power units feature a built-in spare hydraulic tank, CAT Tier III engine, Super Heavy Duty radiator and oil cooler, kidney loop oil system, all stainless steel control panels, tachometer in the remote pendant (found only on APE machines) tool box with spare jaws and hoses and tools to do all the maintenance work and a 5 year warranty.
The APE 200 has the world’s greatest lifting capacity, heavy metal eccentrics, helical gears, one piece gear/eccentric, giant spherical double roller bearings, patented two stage suppressor, 0-ring seals on all parts for ready operation under water, clamps with nylotron lined slides and one piece cylinders and larger jaws for excellent gripping ability.
The APE 200 is the world’s most demanded vibratory pile driver due to its many patented features.

IMECO News – Conexpo and beyond
For everyone who could not attend America’s largest construction equipment exhibition “Conexpo” in
Las Vegas last month we herewith summarise new developments of our main partners for piling and
foundation equipment.
APE of Kent (American Piledriving Equipment) showed the brand new RoboVib, a vibro for mounting to the excavator boom which grabs beams and sheet piles from the side so that no additional servicemen are required. Another invention is the new diesel hammer type D180 with a ram weight of 18000 kg. It was a pleasure to meet many piling contractors who gave a lot of credit to the quality and performance of the APE machines as well as to APE’s continuous effort to develop new and better piling equipment.
