Hercules Machinery introduced the first side-grip in the industry 17 years ago and since then has perfected the Movax® Sonic SideGrip®, placing more than 500 units at worksites throughout the U.S. and Canada. An excavator-mounted attachment, this vibratory pile driver features an articulating side-grip with two unique side-gripping jaws and one bottom jaw that deliver unmatched dexterity when handling, driving or extracting nearly any style of piling.
Designed to deliver the utmost efficiency, the Movax Sonic SideGrip can not only drive piles up to 50 feet, but it also reduces the amount of peripheral equipment needed, like cranes, loaders and manlifts. It uses an excavator’s hydraulics to safely and quickly pick up, unload, place, drive and extract piling. With the most advanced auto steering system available, the Movax Sonic SideGrip precisely drives pile at 3,000 vibrations per minute.
Its superior maneuverability means the Movax Sonic SideGrip can expertly handle challenging worksites with low overhead or narrow passageways.
“We use the Sonic SideGrip a lot in pits and in buildings where we don’t have the headroom clearance,” said Patrick Kirchner, vice president of Force Construction. “It performs well for us every time.”
