After seeing our B-6505 driving pile on a recent job in Southern California, Russ Taylor of Foundation Pile said, “How the hell can I see it running? Where’s all the smoke?” Not only that Mr. Taylor, but the pile crews (not to mention the environmentalists!) appreciate not having hot lube oil spraying everywhere.
Everywhere Bay Machinery has diesel hammers working, people have a hard time seeing them run! See for yourself. The pictures show the exposed piston (obviously a working hammer), but no billowing smoke or squirting oil to be seen. No mirrors either. Both hammers shown are running with standard lube oil and #2 diesel fuel.
Hammer features like non-fouling trip mechanism (no more trip damage from a running hammer), high efficiency “direct drive” base (more power into the pile), and low emissions, make the Berminghammer Mark IV the diesel hammer for the 21st century. We would like you to try one of our diesel hammers on your next job.
Please call or e-mail us for more information: 510/236-9000.

This Berminghammer B-5505 drives 14×117# coated H-beams with up to 105,800 ft.lbs. of energy in Los Angeles, California. Manson Construction’s crew was impressed with the simple operation of the clean running hammer.

Berminghammer’s new B-6505 (202,400 ft.lbs.) “Smokeless” diesel hammer drives 24 octagonals for the Port of Los Angeles. This direct drive system hammer is the most efficient diesel hammer available today.
