Diesel Hammers

APE maintains the largest fleet of single acting diesel hammers in the United States. We stock spare parts for all our Models from the D1 all the way to the D240. In addition, we stock replacement parts for Delmag diesel hammers for nearly every series. All our hammers and parts come with the longest warranty in the business. APE diesel hammers were originally part of a joint venture between Delmag-Maschinenfabrik and Shanghai Engineering Machine Works(SEMW). The original contract can be viewed and printed out for all to see by clicking here. It clearly shows that these hammers have been made since 1984 in Shanghai, China.

In May of 1997, Delmag lost the relationship to SEMW due to financial problems. APE took over the factory in China and started making the hammers under the APE name. It was a great addition to the APE line because our German engineer, Bernie Klinke, was able to verify all the German drawings to be original Delmag-Maschinenfabrik.

John White and Bernie Klinke remain true to the original German drawings but have added new features to the diesel hammer line. These include three new models, the D1, the D50 and the D125. We also have added a Variable Throttle Fuel Control and newer updated injectors. We constantly seek to improve the product line. We have exceeded the metal requirements of the piston and therefore, our warranty is longer. Our parts fit as replacement parts for German built Delmag hammers. Our parts pricing has dramatically reduced operating costs for contractors across America.
