Offshore Specialty Fabricators used the APE model 300 vibro to pull 48″ x 40′ x 2″ wall pipe piles in 150′ of water. Howard Touchet was very pleased with the performance of the Ape vibro. It took anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes to extract each pile. The APE vibro is the only vibro available that you can use in that water depth with out pumping air to the transmission as you let it down and releasing it as you bring it up which often results in blown seals that allows the transmission to fill with water.
