YG Machinery offers a reliable excavator pile driver series that turns your excavator into a high-performance piling machine. Whether you need to drive sheet piles, pipe piles, or timber piles, our hydraulic vibratory pile hammers and excavator sheet pile drivers deliver consistent results. You can quickly mount the attachment and start working on foundations, retaining walls, or solar farms. The design suits carriers from 8 tons to 55 tons. This range includes options ideal for tight job sites and heavy civil projects. With simple hydraulic connections, your excavator becomes a mobile pile driving system. No extra power pack is required. You save time and reduce equipment costs.
Excavator Pile Driver Parameters
Below you will find key data for our five standard models. These numbers help you match the right attachment to your carrier and pile type.
| Model | YG150D | YG250D | YG350D | YG400D | YG450D |
| Eccentric moment(kg*m) | 3.2 | 5.1/5.7 | 7.1 | 9.2 | 11 |
| Speed(rpm) | 2600 | 2600 | 2600 | 2600 | 2600 |
| Excitation force(t) | 24 | 38/42 | 52 | 68 | 81 |
| Operating pressure of oil system(bar) | 200 | 300 | 320 | 330 | 330 |
| Flow demand for hydraulic oil system(lpm) | 100 | 163 | 220 | 260 | 300 |
| Weight(t) | 1.2 | 1.6 | 2.4 | 2.5 | 2.6 |
| Excavator(t) | 8-12 | 20-25 | 25-35 | 35-45 | 40-55 |
The YG250D offers dual eccentric moment settings. This gives you flexibility across different soil conditions. The YG150D model is a perfect pile driver for mini excavator applications. It works well on compact machines where space and weight matter most. Larger models like the YG450D generate up to 81 tons of excitation force. You can drive long sheet piles into dense ground with confidence.
What Is an Excavator Pile Driver?
This pile driving attachment mounts on the boom of an excavator. It uses high-frequency vibration to sink piles into the soil quickly. Instead of using a large impact hammer, the vibrating action reduces ground resistance. Soil particles rearrange under the rapid motion. This lets the pile slide down with the machine‘s weight and downward force. You can also extract piles by reversing the process. The attachment is faster and quieter than traditional diesel hammers. It works in urban areas where noise and vibration restrictions apply. Your excavator becomes a multi-purpose carrier. You do not need a separate piling rig.
Main Components and Working Principle of an Excavator Vibratory Pile Hammer
- Hydraulic motor and valving: The motor receives oil from the excavator’s auxiliary circuit. It drives the gearbox at a steady speed.
- Vibratory gearbox: Inside the housing, eccentric weights rotate on shafts. They create centrifugal force in a vertical direction.
- Clamping system: A hydraulic clamp grips the pile top firmly. You can swap jaws for sheet pile, pipe pile, or timber.
- Mounting bracket: The top bracket connects to the excavator stick and linkage. It uses standard pin dimensions.
The working principle is straightforward. Pressurized oil spins the eccentric masses at up to 2600 rpm. The rotating imbalance generates powerful vertical vibration. This vibratory energy travels through the clamp into the pile. Soil grains lose contact and friction drops drastically. At the same time, the excavator arm applies steady down pressure. The pile penetrates the ground in seconds. For extraction, you simply lift while vibrating. The excavator vibratory pile hammer handles both installation and removal with one setup.
Applications of an Excavator Sheet Pile Driver
- Temporary and permanent retaining walls: Our excavator sheet pile driver installs steel sheets for cofferdams, trench shoring, and waterfront bulkheads. The clamp holds Z-type and U-type profiles securely.
- Foundation piling: You can drive pipe piles and H-beams for building foundations or bridge abutments. The same hammer works with different clamp sets.
- Agricultural and solar installations: A pile driver for mini excavator excels at vineyard posts, orchard supports, and solar panel stanchions. It moves easily between rows and causes minimal ground disturbance.
- Roadside and noise barrier projects: Municipal crews use these attachments for guardrail posts and acoustic barrier piles. The quick cycle time speeds up lane closures.
Additionally, you can use the system for sign posts, fence lines, and small mast foundations. The attachment gives you a flexible piling solution across many sectors.

FAQ About Your Excavator Pile Driver
A: A machine between 8 and 12 tons works best. The YG150D model matches this class perfectly. It delivers 24 tons of excitation force while keeping total attachment weight low. Your excavator stays balanced and easy to transport.
A: Yes, you just need to switch the clamp jaw set. Our excavator vibratory pile hammer body remains the same. You can use sheet pile clamps for U-profiles and pipe clamps for tubular piles. Jaw changes take only a few minutes.
A: Depth depends on soil type, pile length, and excavator reach. In sandy or soft soils, you can drive piles several meters deep. In dense clay, you might need pre-drilling or a larger model. Our team can help you estimate based on your job conditions.
A: Check gear oil level every 50 hours and replace it every 500 hours. Inspect clamp bolts and hydraulic hoses daily. Keep the hydraulic oil clean. Regular checks prevent downtime.
A: We manufacture twin-cylinder shears, drill-and-split all-in-one machines, drum cutters, vacuum suction cup lifters, pile breakers, hydraulic breakers, rock saws, crusher buckets, concrete pulverizers, vibratory plate compactors, rippers, eagle beak shears, and car dismantling claws. Each tool is engineered for hard daily use.
