This machine is designed for driving piles and installing posts and fences quickly and efficiently. Typical applications include piling for solar panel foundations, fence and barrier installations, foundations for structures, landscaping projects, and road or bridge construction.
It is a solar-capable system designed to reduce fuel consumption and operating emissions. The unit also includes a diesel engine (auxiliary) and a hydraulic power train to guarantee performance under heavy loads or low-sun conditions — effectively making it a solar-assisted (hybrid) pile driver.
The core components listed are the engine, bearings, and hydraulic pump. The full system also includes solar panels/energy management for solar operation, the hydraulic drive and hammer/DTH tooling, chassis and travel system, and operator controls.
Operating dimensions are 4800 × 1980 × 2900 mm and the operating weight is 7,500 kg. For transport/shipping the single package size is listed as 530 × 220 × 280 cm (shipping crate/cradle dimensions may be larger than the assembled footprint).
The listed piling speed is up to approximately 6 m/min, though actual speed depends on soil conditions, pile type and operator technique. Walking/travel speed is 0–2.5 km/h.
Standard functions include hydraulic pile driving and optional DTH (down-the-hole) drilling. Hydraulic hammer models 75/85/100 are listed as optional, allowing selection of hammer size to match pile type and job requirements.
Due to its weight (7,500 kg) and size, transport typically requires a heavy-duty flatbed trailer and appropriate lifting equipment (crane or forklift rated for the load). Check local road permits for oversized/overweight loads. Shipping crate dimensions should be used for logistics planning.
Regular maintenance includes daily inspection of hydraulic hoses and fittings, checking engine oil and coolant, greasing bearings and pivot points, monitoring hydraulic fluid levels and cleanliness, cleaning solar panels, and periodic replacement of wear parts such as hammer bits, seals and filters. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for service intervals.
Hengwang supplies core spare parts (engine components, pump, bearings and wear parts). For availability, lead times and recommended spare parts kits, contact the supplier or authorized dealer. It's recommended to stock common wear items on-site for minimised downtime.
Operators should be trained and certified for pile-driving and hydraulic equipment. Use appropriate PPE (hard hat, safety boots, ear and eye protection), secure the machine on stable ground, use outriggers or mats as needed, follow lockout/tagout procedures when servicing, and observe hydraulic pressure limits and safe distances from the operating pile hammer.
Yes — the hydraulic chassis and slow travel speed allow operation on varied terrain, but ground stabilization (mats, cribbing, anchors) is recommended on very soft or highly uneven sites. For steep slopes or very soft soils, consult the supplier and perform a site assessment to determine safe deployment.
Solar charging and energy recovery reduce diesel usage and extend operational runtime, but actual fuel savings depend on solar irradiance, battery/storage capacity and the intensity of piling work. For precise runtime estimates and battery specs, request the detailed electrical/energy specification sheet from the manufacturer.
Solar-assisted operation lowers fuel consumption and related emissions compared with diesel-only machines. Pile driving and drilling are inherently noisy operations; noise levels vary by hammer option and site conditions. Follow local environmental and noise regulations and use noise mitigation measures where required.
Suppliers commonly offer operator training, on-site commissioning, and technical support. Contact Hengwang or your dealer to arrange training packages, start-up assistance and operator manuals specific to your machine configuration.
Choice depends on job requirements: DTH drilling is preferred for boreholes and rock drilling, while hydraulic hammers are ideal for driving piles/posts into softer soils or where displacement driving is required. Consider soil/rock conditions, pile material and project specifications; the supplier can recommend the appropriate hammer model (75/85/100) or DTH package.
