Dieseko Group BV, the global market leader of innovative foundation equipment and within their product range, both PVE and ICE vibratory hammer, has recently launched a revolutionary new side gripper: the 2308SG. &quot;Dieseko is using over 45 years of experience in vibratory hammers to be applied in their new side gripper making it the most reliable side gripper available in today's market,&quot; says <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dirk Smulders, CEO, Dieseko Group.</span><p></p><p>&quot;Before we started to develop, Dieseko performed an extensive study on existing side grippers available in today's market and interviewed a lot of side gripper-operators to understand their challenges. During the development phase of our side gripper, Dieseko's R&amp;D engineers focused on providing a concept which improves the challenges experienced with side grippers currently available, without neglecting Dieseko's design philosophy (limited number of moving parts, protected hoses; both resulting in a high reliability, only three hoses for connection).&quot; </p>Four major differences compared to existing systems are:<br /><ul><li>Unique linear side-clamping system resulting in a more efficient clamping load transfer</li><li>Modular side-grip clamping system resulting in less downtime during exchange of the side-grip inserts for various profiles.</li><li>Clamp opening up to 330 mm for sheet piles and H-beams and 550 mm for casings</li><li>Unique multi-directional elastomers creating a more stable and predictable movement of the dynamic part of the side gripper.</li></ul><br />The exchangeable excavator connection adapter allows the side gripper to fit onto any excavator adapter type, whereas the unlimited 360<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">°&nbsp;</span>rotary head with +35<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">°</span>&nbsp;tilting adapter makes it possible to operate the side gripper in any position while handling a profile. Its distinctive design is easily accessible for maintenance. <br /><p>After extensive testing, partly by experienced side gripper operators, the results and experiences are promising. </p><p>The 2308SG uses an oilflow of 214 l/min at 350 bar. A 35 tonne excavator is required for best performance. Operating the side gripper can be done by remote controlled joystick or excavator controls. </p><p>Suretech, the authorised dealer of Dieseko in India for the last 20 years, is equally excited about this innovation. &quot;Suretech has already supplied more than 300 vibratory hammers to construction companies in India. Many prestigious projects like the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) are being executed with Dieseko vibratory hammers,&quot; says <span style="font-weight: bold;">Surajit Mukherjee, Managing Director, Suretech Infrastructure. </span>&quot;Our factory trained service team provides the best-in-class service which is our USP,&quot; he adds.</p><p> For further information: www.diesekogroup.com</p><p> (Communication provided by company)</p><p></p>
