You need to be able to drive all piles while driving on a
narrow platform.”
The PMx26 is also among the “greenest” of new line piling
systems. Here, deep system integration works to reduce
emissions, improve overall performance and save fuel. It
does this without compromising machine performance. The
company reports that the thermostat-controlled engine and
hydraulic oil coolers are coupled with an optimized air circulation
system. Together with a streamlined main hydraulic
oil circuit with extended hose diameters, fuel consumption is
decreased by up to two litres per hour compared to previous
models. The new post-compensated and load sensing hydraulic
system saves another litre per hour compared to traditional
hydraulic systems and the unique PileCruise feature eliminates
human factors from the total system efficiency; decreasing
the power consumption of the hammer by up to 20 per cent,
depending on the operator. Tier 4 certified Cummins engines
are also available to further decrease emissions.
“Like all Junttan pile driving rigs, it’s designed together
with customers to fit their needs, and it is a very reliable
and strong machine and it is very fast and efficient,” said the
company director. “PMx26, like all other Junttan rigs, is selferecting
and gets to work on the jobsite very quickly after
transportation, and has no need for additional cranes or other
equipment. PMx26 is the only rig on the market today that is
built according to the latest machine building norms and can
do these steep inclinations.”
