MOVAX Hydraulic Impact Hammer
MOVAX Piling Hammers are hydraulic, double acting impact-type, piling hammers used for driving load-bearing piles or assisting in sheet pile driving in even the most difficult soil conditions.
They can be used for driving a wide range of piles including sheet piles, H-beams, tubular steel piles, timber piles or pre-cast concrete piles and are commonly used to complete a pile installation after reaching refusal with a side grip pile driver or when load testing is required.
MOVAX piling hammers can be directly mounted onto excavators or in connection with an excavator mounted piling leader and utilize the hydraulic power of the excavator as its driving force. No external sources of energy such as power packs are needed.
Features ofPiling Hammers

Excavator-Mounted
- Suitable for 20-50 ton excavators.
- Utilizes the hydraulic power and lifting capacity of the excavator or rail roader (carrier).
- Designed to work on any and all wheeled and crawler-type excavators and rail roaders by utilizing and commanding the standard auxiliary hydraulics and/or by connecting to the electronic control of the excavator
Comprehensive Model & Size Range
- Available in different models, sizes and configurations for different piling requirements and different type of piles ranging sheet piles and H-beams to tubular steel piles, precast concrete piles and timber piles.
- Available for excavators ranging from 20 to 50 ton – thus always ensuring the optimum size and correct combination of piling hammer and excavator.
Double Acting, Impact Type Technology
- Drop height controlled between 0-1,2 m
- Blow count controlled between 1-100 blows per minute
Versatile Options
- Tilt device with +/- 15° tilt.
- Bolt-on plate mounted tilt (+/- 15°) & rotation device (+/- 60°) for optimum sheet pile driving (note! models DH-15 and DH-25, only).
- Available with 2,5 ton capacity pile handler for handling of different type of piles. Pile handler can be retrofitted on an existing MOVAX piling hammer.
- The same MOVAX piling hammer can be used on different carriers; mounting options include excavator-, MOVAX multi-tool piling leader-, (third party) piling rig- or crane.
Movax Modular System
- Versatility based on the MOVAX Modular System™ which enables the use of the same unit for a wide range of different piling requirements and type of piles. The modular system includes a wide range of pile caps.
Movax Control System
- MOVAX Control System, mControl+
- mControl+ LITE
- mControl+ PRO with automatic tip-control for maximized productivity and quality.
Movax Information Management System
- mFleetManagement for monitoring MOVAX piling equipment operation, performance and condition.
- Optional mLogbook for monitoring and reporting the piling works including pile set criterion.
