The development of hydraulically - powered, static-load sheet pile pressing equipment in response to severe constructional and environmental problems in high-density inner city areas of Japan provides a very quiet method entirely free from vibration.
Since Watson & Hillhouse introduced the Kowan Still Worker into Europe in 1990, they have successfully completed over 750 contracts in Germany, France, Benelux, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy and throughout the UK.
Features and benefits of the Kowan Still Worker
Virtually noise and vibration free means installation of steel piles as close as 500mm to existing structures or services
The Still Worker operates at ground level with no piling gates making it a very safe method of operation
Uses a wireless radio control providing a broad range of vision for the operator and a safe working environment
Still Worker is light and compact requiring only a small crane for pile pitching
Ideal for height restricted sites
Exclusive Mast Tilting Device is standard with each machine
Features and benefits of the Mast Tilt device
Mast/chuck can incline forwards and backwards by 5 degrees
More accurate and efficient pile installation
Makes self travelling much easier and quicker
Makes working on gradients much easier
i could see what was happening if the operators head wasn't so shiny!
