Movax gets a grip at MaskinExpo

I have not had a lot do with sheet piling to any great extent throughout my career as a machine operator, but it is always interesting to see these bits of kit in action and I am sure that many of our readers like Steve Rule who use these pieces of kit on a regular basis will be interested in reading this post. The machine on the demonstration plot of Finnish specialist attachment company Movax, was a Caterpillar 330D LN ME model, equipped with an Oil Quick OQ80 fully automatic quick coupler system. Mounted below that was Movax’s  SPH80-6 side mounted grip vibratory hammers, which was being put through its paces on the stand. Here’s a brief video I took of the machine in action in Stockholm.
