Hydraulic Piling Hammers

Introduction
The CX and CG range of hammers have been developed by BSP after many years experience of producing hydraulic piling hammers - the range now embodies the following principles.
Versatility
Designed to operate from piling rig leaders or crane suspended, CX & CG hammers are suitable to drive the following pile types:
Features/benefits
- Steel sheet piles in pairs
- Steel tubular bearing piles
- Steel 'H' piles
- Steel combi piles
- Reinforced concrete RC piles
- Cast in situ CIS piles
- Timber piles
To drive sheet piles with the CX range when crane suspended, legs with pile inserts are added to the hammer and the blow transferred through a wide driving cap to spread the impact. Bearing piles may be driven by a crane suspended hammer fitted with an insert to suit the pile size.
For driving tubular bearing piles over 762mm diameter when crane suspended, the legs can be replaced by a tubular pile guide.
The CX and CG range can be used in conventional piling rigs with the addition of hinged type back-guides. Guides to suit any leader section are available allowing speedy installation on the mast.
A detachable trip is available to allow the hammer to follow the pile without the continual paying out of the hammer rope.

The BSP hydraulic actuator is designed to be highly efficient which for a given blow rate and energy transference gives the operator lower fuel costs and less exhaust emissions.
With the hydraulic control valve on the hammer the CX and CG range can be connected into an existing hydraulic power supply from a hydraulic pile rig crawler base.
Where there is insufficient hydraulic power available, a range of skid mounted EU compliant power packs have been designed for use with these hammers.
Minimum Hammer Length
The CX hydraulic actuator features controlled acceleration and impact tothe down stroke, equivalent to 1.2m freefall. This feature plus the unique drop weight connection reduces overall length compared to similar conventional hammers.
Minimum Hammer Weight
A careful balance between the ram mass and the cage design results in the all up weight being minimised.
Controllability
The proven BSP remote control panel, provides these hammers with an infinitely variable stroke and blow rate. The precise delivery of energy to the pile, enables the contractor to maximise production rates, avoid pile damage and problems of pile runaway.
Environmentally Friendly
The relatively low hydraulic demand of the CX and CG actuator reduces fuel consumption, and combined with today's more efficient diesel engines, gives less exhaust emissions.
Noise emissions are reduced with improved dolly material, sound attenuating panels and helmet shrouding.
Reliability
BSP have been designing and manufacturing piling hammers for 95 years - the CX and CG range draws on this experience. The range has been extensively site tested, driving a wide range of piles under varying conditions.
