for U Sheet Piles
400-600mm wide

Modular model applicable to U Sheet Piles (400-600mm wide)

Silent Piler F201

1 Applicable to 400-600mm wide U Sheet Pile and soft to hard ground conditions

Flexible and Functional Formula

F201 has wider adoptability and is applicable to Standard Mode, Water Jetting Mode, and Super Crush Mode and 400mm,
500mm and 600mm wide U sheet pile by changing the chuck and chuck frame, and equipping suitable attachments.

The F201 features a new modular design developed by optimising all the partsand drastically modifying the structure, shape, and material.
Not only are the main component parts more versatile,
it is also equipped with a cutting-edge control system,
and realising high functionality and longer operation life.

2 Longer Operational Life and Higher Functionality by New Control System
The new control system manages the position of the press-in machine and controls loadgeneration from press-in work during operation, maximising the durability of each part.
Also, control of the machine is remarkably improved by the Press-in Force Control System andthe Phaseless Linear Auger Torque Control System.

Pile width corresponding to the Chuckis automatically detected.

3 Pile Installation into Hard Ground
The "Pilot Coring Theory", GIKEN's original theory, makes the Hard Ground
Press-in Method able to install sheet piles into difficult ground conditions such as
gravelly soil and cobble or boulder mixed soil without losing the advantages ofthe Press-in Method. The augering area can be reduced to assist pile installation,minimising volume of spoil and disturbance to the soil strata. Hence, high bearing
capacity is available from sheet piles which are installed by the Hard Ground
Press-in Method.

2Ultra Low Noise Level

The Power Unit of the F201 is a newgeneration model and has environmentally-friendly specifications. It is
designed with strict concepts for clean
emissions with high combustion efficiency and GIKEN's original hydrauliccontrol technologies.

It clears allowable construction noiselevels in many industrialised countries.

e.g. Noise Limitin Urban Area

-10.5 dB(A)Auger Motor

Slide Cover-7.0 dB(A)Pile Auger-9.1 dB(A)

1Low Emission Engine

Busy Office70(BS5228)

65Standard Application of
Biodegradable Oil
The F201 uses bio-degradable Piler EcoOil and Piler Eco Grease. Hence, if
hydraulic oil or grease is spilled into soil
or water, there will be no environmental
damage to the surrounding ecosystem.
In addition, the machines are painted
with TX-Free non-leaded paint *.
* Environmentally-friendly paint which does not containtoluene, xylene and lead based pigment.

Press-in Monitoring and Data Logging System

GIKEN's engineers can monitor individual Silent Pilers, suchas operating condition, maintenance records and location.
Quick advice for any technical troubles is available promptly
and appropriate information can also be provided to prevent
troubles.

Press-in monitoring data can be used for quality control andinformation modelling of the foundation. Operators are able tokeep working while checking data such as press-in force,
auger torque, and working hours of press-in work, on a tabletor PC (both optional extras).

* The system is not available in the countries where authorisation forusage cannot be acquired.

Locking Function
Lock functions in the leader mast, chuck andclamps secure Silent Piler against drilling torqueand increase drilling efficiency and accuracy ofpile installation.
