- using the hammer Wider or special pile sections The CRH5000 hammer in standard format will drive a considerable range of steel piles. In some applications, however, where sheet piles are particularly wide or perhaps boxed together it is possible to use simple leg insert modifications and/or spreader plates to give improved pile coverage reducing pile head stress and improving productivity rates.
hammer maintenance Daily maintenance checks (or every 10 hours): Apply lithium-based general purpose grease to the hammer through each one of five grease points (part 1-057-00-01). Six operations of a grease gun on each grease point before every shift will be adequate. Check all external fasteners for tightness and re-tighten where necessary.
