I. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued...)
I-3. General Description of Model 50 Vibro
The APE Model 50 is a variable frequency vibratory pile driver/extractor designed to drive and extract
all types of piles including sheet, pipe, timber, concrete, H-beam, I-beam, and steel plates. In addition,
the vibrator can be used for soil compaction, installing well casings, and installation of tie-backs and
wick drains.
The Model 50 operates in a frequency range of 0 to 1800 cycles per minute depending on the hydraulic
flow and on the hydraulic motors fitted to the gear train. The Model 50 is especially suited for driving or
extracting piles that are near buildings or other structures. This is because the Model 50 vibrates at
higher frequencies and thus is less damaging to surrounding soils.
The three major parts to the Model 50 are as follows:
A.) The Suppressor housing. (Excavator suppressor not shown on this page)
B.) The Gearbox.
C.) The Clamping Attachment.
