The Clamp Attachment
The APE 50 comes with a standard sheet pile clamp attachment. The clamp contains two gripping
jaws. One is "fixed" and one is "moveable." A large hydraulic cylinder operates the moveable jaw with
up to 250 tons of clamping force depending on clamp pump relief pressure. The jaws open and close
by turning a switch on the remote control pendant or may be operated by turning the switch at the
main control panel mounted behind one of the doors on the power unit. The valve can be manually
operated with a screwdriver if all electrical fails. The APE standard sheet pile clamp can be fitted
with jaws to fit many different types of piles including sheet piles, H-Beams, steel plates, steel rods,
pipe piles, wood piles, and concrete piles. (Contact APE or your local APE distributor for more
information on clamp attachments for special pile types.)
