TIMBER PILE POINTS
Hard cutting timber pile
points help make any job
run more smoothly and
dependably.
Timber pile points protect
pile tips from failure. Points
will help drive through rubble
and other tough conditions
without undermining the
strength of the pile. Points
are made in one piece of
1/4" low-alloy cast steel.
Advanced Uplift
Resistance Anchors
Our TP-807 timber
anchors are made from
TUFLOY cast steel
(90 ksi tensile, 60 ksi
yield) and are galvanized.
Quick assembly in the
field with just holes
drilled through the pile.
DFP casts integral teeth
into each uplift anchor
to provide extra “bite”
into the timber pile.
A full set is needed for
30 ton uplift and 1/2 set
for 15 ton uplift.

EALs are compatible with a wide variety
of equipment types, including fluid-totorque
auger drills, drive caps and impact
hammers, striker plates and vibrators
with specialty gears.
and ensure a successful ROI on your lubricant investment, be
sure to follow these best practices:
• Picking the right EAL supplier is key: Choose one that
builds partnerships with clients versus completes transactions.
Suppliers should go beyond selling a product; they
should be invested in your success and offer guidance and
expertise every step of the way.
• Begin an oil analysis program: Most suppliers will sample
and test your lubricant once it’s in use. Find a supplier
that thoroughly explains test results, troubleshoots issues
and ensures performance is optimized.
• Be sure a filtration system is in place: Keeping fluid clean
and free of debris and corrosion is essential. Talk to your
supplier about what filtration option works with your EAL
and get it in place at the beginning.
• Develop a maintenance program immediately: An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s critical to
establish a maintenance regimen and stick to it. Falling
behind – or simply letting it go – will cost you more in the
long run.
The adoption of EALs offers a unique opportunity for
those in the pile driving industry to get out ahead of critical
environmental issues and regulations, while reducing total
cost of ownership. Simply put, EALs perform equivalent to,
or better than, petroleum lubricants – preventing wear and
tear on parts, reducing friction ( for improved performance),
reducing heat and preventing corrosion, all while providing a
safer and more sustainable choice for your employees and the
operating environment. Making the switch from petroleumbased
products to an EAL is an easy way for your company
to reduce its carbon footprint, while boosting performance
– the ultimate win-win.
