Chapter 1 Product profile
1.1 General
1.1.1 About Antaeus Machinery
The name Antaeus” comes from the ancient Greek god of the earth. We use this name
because our company’s core proposition is to design, rent, sell, and service deep foundation
construction equipment.
Antaeus Foundation Equipment LLC, formed in June of 2016, is a deep foundation
construction equipment manufacturing company specializing in vibratory pile driver/extractors
and related products. We design and manufacture, rent, sell, and service deep foundation
equipment of all makes and sizes.
John L. White, the CEO, started his career in the deep foundation construction business in
1977 in Seattle At PACO (Pacific American Commercial Company). Fresh out of the US
Marines, John traveled the Western half of the US and Canada, servicing and leasing pile
driving equipment manufactured by MKT, Vulcan and Delmag.
John served as President of APE from 1990 until his departure in June of 2012. During this
time at APE, John received 40 patents related to pile driving and deep foundation machines.
John also set the world’s record for installing the largest pile. John built APE into the world’s
largest pile driving equipment manufacturing company and his inventions revolutionized the
industry. John sold his shares of APE in 2012.
John continued to invent pile driving machines and longed to return to inventing new pile
driving machines. John’s latest inventions are shocking the industry, including his new
“updrive” hydraulic power units and his multi-staged suppressor system.
In June of 2016 John returned to the deep foundation industry by launched Antaeus. His new
machines are quickly becoming the number one choice in pile driving equipment. Antaeus has
a mission. Our goal is to buy, manufacture, rent, sell, lease and service state of the art pile
driving machines for the purpose of providing a competitive edge to our customers.
We are gods of pile driving, we are Antaeus Foundation Equipment.

1.12 About Antaeus hydraulic Excavator vibro hammers
The Antaeus Hydraulic Excavator Vibro hammer is excavator mounted
and used to pull or extract steel sheet piles, steel pipes and concrete
piles with simple, flexible, well-designed, reliable performance and
quiet operations.
The Antaeus Hydraulic Excavator Vibro hammer is powered by the
excavator hydraulic power system, without the need of another power
unit. The Antaeus Hydraulic Excavator Vibro hammer works with high
frequency vibration from 2800 to 3000 RPM and provides 30 tons to 50
tons force to break the soil adhesive power.

1.2 Features
•Functions: Vibrating, clamping, and rotating. Each action is
individually controlled.
•Two-settings of vibration power output, which can meet with all kinds
of construction conditions. The second setting vibration output is
more powerful and could be applied for the hard soil layer .
•Well-Designed hydraulic system.
•The product can be installed in all kinds of brand excavators.
•Operated by one excavator operator in the cab
•Working quietly, less impact on the surrounding environment and
suitable for urban jobs.

(1) With high frequency this hammer will transmit the high vibration
force to the pile. The soil structure will change with the high vibration
causing soil liquidation. The frictional force between the pile and the
soil will be reduced and pile will sink. With the downward pressure from
excavator combined with the pile weight the pile will sink into the soil.
(2) When extracting piles, the pile can be pulled or extracted by the
up-pulling force from excavator during vibration.
(3) The driveability of the pile is based by many factors such as soil
layers, soil type, water content, pile type, rocks, and so on.
1.6 Working Principles and application
Antaeus high frequency hydraulic pile driving machine adopts
vibration driving and extracting. This hamm is very suitable for
projects with short piles or medium length piles such as photovoltaic,
city planning, bridge, cofferdam, building foundation projects.
Working principles:
(1) There are eccentric weights inside the machine, spun by motor,
which rotate with high speed and produce eccentric force. Eccentric
force is suppressed by rubber elastomers which isolate vibration from
entering the excavator and keeping it in the pile.
(2) Eccentric force is in proportion to the eccentric moment and the
square of the speed of vibrations measured as vpm. Antaeus
eccentrics are have been in constant development over 30 years
resulting in an efficient and durable unique design.
Construction principles:
P12

P13

•The operator should have professional knowledge and related
certificates required to operate this machinery.
•Strictly follow all security regulations.
•Use of this machine for lifting operation is not allowed.
•Use this piling machine as impact hammer (loosening the clamp
pressure and impacting) is not allowed.
•Operator should always keep visual communication with pile
holding person and other assistant.
•If any danger happens during piling, stop operation immediately.
•Check the machine before working every day.
•The gear box will be very hot during operation, do not touch it
with your bare hands, only use a heat gun to check heat.
•Any revisions to this machine is not allowed.
1.7 Saftey points:
Under difficult construction conditions the operator should
know the job site and make safe judgments with regards
to weather, slope, and failure of job site equipment.
Check if there is any underground cables, hanging
obstacles or anything which may cause danger in job site.
Working radius of machine in job site:
Formula： Pile length +1/2( pile length)
This area can be the working area of this piling machine
and room for the excavator to turn around.

Chapter 2 Installation Instructions
Antaeus piling machine is attached to excavator. Before installation, make sure that
the excavator power system matches the piling machine. If any problems please
call the nearest Antaeus service branch.
2.1 Choose an empty, flat and clean ground for installation, anyone who is not related
to installation should keep keep some distance.
2.2 The installation position in the excavator is the bucket position. Remove bucket
first, then install the vice arm of the piling machine. Different excavator models use
different vice arms of which the connecting shaft diameter and length differs. The shaft
diameter can be adjusted with washers or bushing.
P15

2.4 After installation, lift the machine and make the gear box and
Clamp vertical to the ground.

2.5 Before installation, make sure all the hydraulic connection parts
are clean with no pollutants inside the hose.
2.6 Equip one electric control box for the piling machine, install it in
the cab, fix the wire on the vice arm with film, do not expose it to the
elements
2.7 For installation details, please contact our services people.

• Clean the ground and tools before commissioning, check all oil hoses,
electric wires, bolts, connection shafts, safe steel wires, clamp, make
sure all are firm and safe. Anyone who is not related to commissioning
should keep away.
•Operator starts excavator, check the excavator as following
（1）Lift up the long boom and short arm, operate to move the shaft,
check if the movement of vice arm and the main hammer is stable or
not, or is there any colliding.
(2）Operate clamping system, clamping release, rotate 270 °in order,
vibrate with low speed 3 times continuously. Check if there is any
abnormal movement, any leaking or lose bolts.
(3) If the above movement is normal, adjust the working speed of the
engine, add one pressure meter behind the clamp. Operation clamping,
pressure should be 4351-4931 PSI (300-340bar). If the pressure is lower or
higher than the pressure range listed adjust the excavator system pressure
or relief pressure. Rotate the main hammer, check the rotate speed and
adjust it if needed.
(4) Operating vibration, the jaw will close automatically when vibrating.
First time 1 minute, then 5-10 minutes if normal。 Operate second
stage vibration during this 5-10 minutes, and check if excavator works
normal or any hose leaking.
(5) If everything is normal, this machine can be used.
