West Coast Contractors has chosen APE/J&M equipment to assist in their assault in driving 16 inch and 24 inch precast concrete pile. The task of driving concrete piles with a diesel hammer is enhanced, maximizing production by using hydraulic trips and variable hydraulic throttles. APE/J&M is the largest consumer of vegetable based hydraulic oil "Terresolve" in North America, and with available alternatives such as vegetable based fuels and lubes instead of fossil based consumables, the use of APE/J&M equipment can change any jobsite as green and environmentally friendly as possible. ...

Many years ago APE introduced the Junttan Pile Driving Rig into the USA. It was a very difficult venture because the rig was very expensive. In addition, Junttan's delivery schedule was more than one year. APE sold one rig to Picone and one to Jet Drive, both New York contractors. There were many issues with parts and service and getting things through customs. APE's agreement with Junttan excluded APE from selling to Skanska Companies. The agreement became too restricted plus Junttan wanted to sell direct so we parted ways a few years ago. APE still maintains a fleet of Junttan ...

Malcolm Drilling goes APE when challenged with driving 10' diameter caissons for the city of Seattle in a low headroom situation. There were a couple of piles on this project where power lines obstructed headroom. At a glance this looked to be a job for the APE "King Kong", without any suppressor. Dave Yingling, took a second look at the soils and was successful in recommending the APE Model 200-6 with quad beam and low headroom suppressor. This not only made the load lighter, but Malcolm was able to manipulate the pile while in vibration. Please contact APE @ 800-248-8498 for you ...

When Chris Shannon with Linde-Griffith Construction of Newark, NJ needed to vibrate 30' XZ85 sheets in tough cohesive clays, he put the call in to APE Northeast. The APE 200 Vibro at 4400 in/lbs was dispatched to the site to get the job done. Pictured is the APE 200 in action at the Echelon Mall in Voorhees, NJ. Linde-Griffith Construction, in business for over 100 years, was hired to drive sheet pile to hold back the existing parking lot for Macy's department store. Eventually a combination of retail and residential space will be constructed. The experienced staff at Linde-Griffith kno ...

Harkers Island North Carolina is attached to the main land by a small 1/2 mile long bridge. The only electric power that is brought to the island is by means of an older out dated power pole system 200 feet away from the bridge. The currrent poles are aprox. 30 feet long. Some time ago some of the main poles were damaged by a water spout. The power company knew it was time for a much needed update on this system. They decided to install 54" dia. concrete cylinder piles 56 feet in length for the new poles foundations and use poles 85 feeet in length that are un-guyed. They called "Taylor Brothe ...

Just 4 days after manufacturing the first model 200 vibratory hammer in China it was sold to a private contractor in ShanDong. The hammer was recently shipped and used to drive 3 feet diameter batter piles 55 feet deep off the coast of TianJin for an oil platform. This was a huge step for APE China and we are all very happy that the hammer was used successfully. The success of this job has already been heard by many other people who are interested in APE products manufactured in China. This was a big team effort with much the help coming from Jerry Cors who had a crucial part in the assemb ...

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.

APE Holland delivered the third APE Model 250VM to St. Petersburg within one year. For the firm Sevzapmorgidrostroj this is the first APE vibratory hammer. This APE vibratory hammer replaced old JV50 and JV100 vibratory hammers which were owned by the company for several years already. The choice for APE vibratory hammers was a combination of powerful equipment, with low own weight, combined with a positive price level. All of this gave the APE Model 250V a number of operational and technical advantages to the out of date JV 50 and JV 100 vibrators. Personel of Sevzapmorgidrost ...
