A hydraulic pile driver is an engineering device that drives a pile hammer or vibrating head through hydraulic power to drive the pile into the ground. Among them, the Excavator Pile Driver Attachment quickly converts ordinary excavators into professional piling equipment by adapting to the excavator’s hydraulic system. It is widely used in building foundations, bridge pile foundations, and other fields. Compared with traditional diesel hammers, this type of equipment has the advantages of low noise, low vibration, and high precision and is especially suitable for construction in densely populated urban areas.

Working Sites of Hydraulic Pile Machine
- Building foundation construction: Precast concrete pile sinking for high-rise buildings and factory buildings;
- Bridge engineering: Installation of steel pipe piles for rivers and cross-sea bridges, using Hydraulic Impact Pile Hammer hydraulic impact pile hammer;
- Municipal engineering: Precision construction of subway retaining piles and noise barrier piles;
- Port construction: Pier pile foundation and breakwater reinforcement;
- Emergency rescue: Rapid pile driving and slope consolidation for landslides and dam breaches.


Features of Excavator Mounted Pile Hammer
- High efficiency and energy saving: The energy utilization rate of the hydraulic system reaches 85%, which is 40% more energy-saving than diesel hammer;
- Precise control: The impact energy and frequency can be adjusted to adapt to sand, clay, and rock formations;
- Low environmental interference: The noise is less than 75dB, and the vibration is reduced by 60%, which is suitable for operations in residential areas;
- Fast switching: Excavator Pile Driver Attachment supports the conversion between excavator and pile driving mode within 30 minutes;
- Intelligent protection: Overload protection, oil temperature monitoring, and other functions extend the life of the equipment.


Functions of Hydraulic Impact Pile Hammer
- Foundation reinforcement: transfer load to deep, stable strata through piles;
- Earthquake resistance and anti-tilt: pile foundation structure improves the earthquake and wind resistance of buildings.
- Soil improvement: compact loose strata to prevent foundation settlement (such as using Hydraulic Impact Pile Hammer);
- Temporary support: retaining pile construction before foundation pit excavation;
- Ecological protection: Replace blasting construction to reduce damage to the surrounding environment.
YG Excavator Pile Driver Attachment – Southeast Asia Sales Case
Customer Background
A contractor covering Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, with about 20 excavators in the 20–30 ton class (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, etc.), mainly working on road, bridge, and port projects. The customer had multiple sites needing piling at the same time, but each site had different pile types, diameters, and ground conditions. Dedicated piling machines lacked flexibility, and buying several would exceed the budget. Some sites were on islands or in dense urban areas, limiting access for large equipment. Also, the excavators sat idle between jobs, so utilization needed improvement.
YG Solution
YG Machinery provided the excavator pile driver attachment, models including YGL300R through YGL600R series and YGL390H. Operating weight 7410–7800 kg, with Yuchai engine (82–85 kW), hydraulic motor drive. Machine width 1980–2260 mm, length 4800–7800 mm – compact enough for transport and tight spaces. The attachment connects to the excavator’s hydraulic system via a mounting frame; installation takes about 30 minutes, and removal is just as quick. It fits common brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Hitachi, and Sany. The hydraulic system allows adjustable impact force based on soil and pile type, and it works with steel sheet piles, H-beams, pipe piles, and precast concrete piles.
Application
The customer bought 4 attachments (one each of YGL300R, YGL400R, YGL500R, and YGL600R), used in projects including an Indonesian port terminal, a Vietnamese road bridge, and a Malaysian LRT project.
- Indonesian port: YGL500R drove 600mm precast concrete piles, averaging about 12 piles per day, meeting the schedule.
- Vietnamese road bridge cofferdam: YGL600R installed steel sheet piles in sandy gravel ground, with a first-time pile success rate of about 98%.
- Malaysian LRT project: YGL400R assisted with casing follow-up work, and quality passed inspection.
- Philippine municipal road retaining wall: YGL300R completed all H-beam pile driving with no project delay.
Cost-wise, the total cost for the 4 attachments was about 65–70% of the price of one small dedicated pile driver, with no need for extra transport vehicles. When not piling, the excavators could switch back to buckets for earthmoving, reducing idle time. Operators could master installation and operation after 1–2 days of training.
