Junttan’s newly redesigned
PMx26 enhances capability when
piling jobs face tough conditions
By Kelly Gray
When the piling sector has challenges, this
Finnish company delivers solutions. Based in
Kuopio, Finland, with dealers around the globe,
Junttan Oy offers a product range consisting of
world-leading pile driving rigs, multipurpose piling and drilling
rigs, deep stabilization rigs, as well as hydraulic impact
hammers, rotary heads and power packs.
A great example of their success in design and development
is the Junttan PMx26. The PMx26 is special because
of its capacity to drive piles with steep inclination. PMx26
can do at least 18.5 degrees inclination to all directions –
even sideways and backwards; forward inclinations can be
even higher.
The whole basic structural and component layout of the
PMx26 has been redeveloped to deliver effortless operation
and maintenance, uncompromising safety, stability, transportability
and structural strength. The hydraulic system
has been completely overhauled and Junttan’s innovative
X-control system for the PMx26 has been further developed
for the most convenient and productive operation
