Clamps & Beams
ProductsAmerican Piledriving Equipment has made a name in the piledriving industry with its innovative advancements in technology. APE’s clamps and beams are adjustable to fit just about any size of caisson.
Beams
The accessory items added below the vibratory drivers/extractors include clamps, beams, and adapters. STANDARD CAISSON BEAMS are used for thicker wall types with less deflection. Beams are placed between the vibro and the clamps to fit various size pipe caissons (aka: piles) to create unique solutions for each jobsite.
The APE BEAM STIFFENER is bolted onto the bottom of a smaller vibratory hammer, allowing you to use the larger quad beam assemblies to drive larger diameter caissons.
The QUAD BEAM ASSEMBLY is used for larger diameter thin wall piles to stabilize from deflection. The Quad Beam Adapter Assembly allows you to drive larger piles with stability and precision.
Requirement: A Beam Stiffener must be used with all APE and J&M vibros—ranging from model APE 150 through the APE 300-6 Silverback—when operating with a Quad Beam Assembly.
The CAISSON BEAM TO CLAMP ADAPTER accommodates quick clamp changes to drive different types of piles without unbolting the caisson beam. A common example of this is switching from a caisson to a sheet pile.
