Device meant for forcing piles into the ground

A forcing equipment for forcing piles, steel profiles and other elongated objects into a ground, which forcing equipment comprises:

• a body including
• an upper part having an attachment arrangement for attaching the upper part to a working machine, and
• first and second side parts directed downwards from the upper part;
• a vibration device;
• first and second moveable grip jaws which are closed in order to grip the object to be forced at least with a side grip;
• first and second cassettes to which the vibration device and the first and second movable grip jaws are mounted, said first and second cassettes having damping rubbers through which the vibration device and the first and second movable grip jaws are attached between the first and second side parts;
• first and second pin/hole attachment mechanisms by which the vibration device is mounted to the first and second cassettes, the first and second pin/hole attachment mechanisms including aligned mount holes in the vibration device and cassette when the vibration device is provided between the cassettes and mount pins which are received in the aligned mount holes, and
• third and fourth pin/hole attachment mechanisms by which the first and second movable grip jaws are attached to the first and second cassettes, the third and fourth pin/hole attachment mechanisms including aligned joint holes in the cassette and a pivot point of the first and second movable grip jaws when the first and second movable grip jaws are provided on the cassettes and joint pins which are received in the aligned joint holes, where the aligned joint holes and joint pins therein are positioned so that the mounted vibration device is therebetween and hence pivot axes of the first and second movable grip jaws are likewise located so that the mounted vibration device is therebetween;
• and
• whereby the first, second, third and fourth pin/hole attachment mechanisms are opened by removing the associated mount and joint pins thereof.
