PTC s vibrodrivers are efficient hydraulic vibratory hammers that reduce the cohesion of the soil through vibration, allowing to easily drive or extract sheet piles and many other profiles. Considering the increasing use of excavators in piling jobs, PTC has developped a complete range of Vibrodrivers specifically designed to be mounted directly on the dipper arm of a wide range of excavators. FORK ATTACHMENT For easy Vibrodriver adaptation on all types of excavators. SWIVEL Allows Vibrodriver rotation and facilitates profile positioning. Compact and slim: Ideal for piling jobs with reduced spaces and low head room, such us in city centres. Minimal height to maximise sheet pile length. So slim that it can drive in between sheet piles. Excavator connection (Power supplied by the excavator) Yoke Containing high absorbtion elastomers, which are the result of PTC research in reducing vibratory emissions. Gear Box Contains the eccentric pairs that produce the vibration. Quick and easy excavator connection: Three connection options for perfect adaptation to the number of circuits available on the excavator: Hydraulic control. Electric control. Flow limitor. Simple operation: The Vibrodriver is powered by the excavator s hydraulic system. The excavator s operator controls all parameters from the cabin. Variable moment technology (only in PHFV range) Vibrodrivers of the PHFV range, are equipped with PTC s variable moment technology, which enables to permanently control the vibrations generated by the Vibrodriver. Thus allowing a start/stop of the driving without any vibrations, and reducing the vibrations emitted to the surrounding environment. The variable moment system consists of a phase shifter that opposes the upper and lower eccentrics to adjust the vibration, even down to zero (no vibration). Strong power and light weight: Vibrators with very light weight and powerful eccentric moments. High push/pull force. Resonance-free: Adjustable amplitude and driving speed (PHFV range). High vibration absorption elastomers, thus, maximum protection for the excavator. Environmentally friendly: - Low noise 1 - Vibratory emissions under control (PHFV range).

PATENT tiltex PENDING Just tilt, lift and drive the sheet piles The Tiltex is a tilting clamp specially designed for excavator mounted Vibrodrivers. It improves the handling of sheet piles and the productivity of piling projects. With this tilting clamp, operators can grab sheet piles stored on the ground and drive them directly without any other handling operations. Sheet pile handling: simplified and optimised There s no longer any need for an additional operator to thread a chain through the sheet pile or use any other basic lifting accessories to handle the sheet piles: the excavator operator controls all the parameters from the cabin. 215 130 130 Improved safety and working conditions How does Tiltex work? The Tiltex key characteristic resides in the fact that it swivels in the horizontal position in order to grab a sheet Sheet pile handling operations are especially dangerous and require considerable physical effort. The reduced number of operators near the sheet piles during this 380 785 480 pile laid on the ground. After closing the clamping jaws, the excavator operator raises the sheet pile from the ground phase significantly reduces the risks of occupational accidents (cuts, crush injuries, etc.), and the risks of 110 and tilts the clamp at the same time, until reaching the occupational illnesses linked to lifting heavy loads. 662 vertical position. Once the locking system is activated, Furthermore, the excavator operator s working 367 the operator positions the Vibrodriver and the sheet pile conditions are improved: The use of the Tiltex offers in the desired position and starts driving it. Higher productivity and better use of man power The use of the Tiltex clamp allows a better use of the labour force because it can be redeployed on more productive tasks than sheet pile handling. In addition, greater freedom in the movements of the machine and more user-friendly operation thanks to the centralised control from the cabin. Useful for extraction works This clamp is also useful for extraction operations: Once 170 185 The Tiltex 60 t can be mounted in a wide range of PTC Vibrodrivers: 6PHFV - 8PHFV - 7PHF - 10PHF - 13PH - 15PH the job site can be finished faster than when the handling the sheet pile has been extracted from the ground is done with a lifting chain. The Tiltex is perfectly adapted for heavy duty jobsites by the Vibrodriver, it can be laid down on the ground without the need for any additional labour. Tiltex 60 t that require driving numerous sheet piles, in which productivity gains, in terms of time and man power, will be even more significant. Weight kg 488 Force kn 600 Working pressure bar 320 An accessory that makes all the difference! 1 Tilt the clamp and grab the sheet pile. 2 Lift the sheet pile. 3 Position the sheet pile. 4 Drive the sheet pile. Tiltex is innovative due to the fact that it is simply an accessory. It is the first clamp that swivels fully to grab and lift sheet piles from the ground. This clamp offers an efficient and economical solution, because it remains an accessory which can be easily mounted on existing PTC Vibrodrivers. 7 8
PTC proposes three control options with different connection requirements to allow perfect adaptation to the client s excavator model and to the number of hydraulic circuits available. Electric control Ideal when there is only 1 circuit available on the excavator An electric control box is supplied to easily control the Vibrodriver from the excavator cabin. Manifold block The electric control monitors all Vibrodriver functions using only one circuit of the excavator. This single circuit supplies hydraulic power with proper flow and pressure to all the Vibrodriver circuits. The Vibrodriver is easily controlled from the cabin by a control box: A simple 3-button control box allows controlling: Vibrations (hydraulic motor) Clamp Amplitude (variable moment system of PHFV models) Control box Breaker circuit Only 1 circuit is required to operate PHF or PHFV Vibrodrivers. Breaker circuit. Hydraulic control The Vibrodriver is controlled from the cabin using only one joystick. Joystick Manifold block Only for PHFV Vibrodrivers: additional circuit to control the amplitude The Manifold block developed by PTC allows to control the Vibrodriver by using only one joystick (vibration and clamps). The operator starts powering the Vibrodriver by pushing forward the joystick to close the clamp. Then to start the vibration, the joystick needs to be pushed all the way. To open the clamp the operator moves the joystick backwards and reverses the flow. Clamp opened Stop Clamp closed 1 circuit is required to operate PHF Vibrodrivers. Breaker circuit. Driving (vibrations) Breaker circuit 2 circuits are required to operate PHFV Vibrodrivers. Breaker circuit. Additional circuit : for the variable moment system of the vibrator, which controls the amplitude. Flow limitor The Vibrodriver is controlled from the cabin using at least 2 joysticks (one controls the clamp, the other controls vibration). Flow limitor Only for PHFV Vibrodrivers: additional circuit to control the amplitude The flow limitor makes sure the vibrodriver s maximum oil flow capacity is not surpassed, thus guaranteeing driving efficiency and protecting the equipment. In addition, the Vibrodriver can be mounted on excavators with different oil flow capacities, without needing special adaptation. 2 circuits are required to operate the PHFV Vibrodrivers. Breaker circuit : for the Flow limitor, which controls the hydraulic motor (Vibrations). Bucket circuit : for the clamping head. 9 Breaker circuit Bucket circuit 3 circuits are required to operate the PHFV Vibrodrivers. Breaker circuit : for the Flow limitor, which controls the hydraulic motor (Vibrations). Bucket circuit: for the clamping head. Additional circuit: for the variable moment system of the vibrator, which controls the amplitude. 10
