Vermeer Pile Drivers Available with Trimble Machine Control
Trimble Groundworks machine control is now available for use on Vermeer PD10R and PD25R remote control pile drivers.

The technology allows the pile driver to move automatically to the precise location of a pile according to the project plan, and optimizes the steps needed to drive the pile to the accurate depth with minimal operator inputs on a remote control, according to Trimble.
This system allows one operator to complete the task of driving piles, which would otherwise be a two- or three-person job. It also minimizes operator fatigue by allowing the operator to concentrate on the piling rather than machine operation.
“With the boom in energy requirements around the world, many energy companies are looking to solar to help them meet both economic and emissions goals," said Ed Savage, lead product manager at Vermeer. “Leveraging Trimble machine control technology with Vermeer pile driving technology has the capability to change the way solar farms are built. Now, driving piles requires minimal operator inputs and can increase the speed and accuracy of solar farm construction.”
