Over the past several years, renewable energy sources – like solar – have become increasingly important contributors to the world’s store of available energy. To answer the need for quick-working, accurate equipment, Vermeer has developed the robust, productive PD10 pile driver. The PD10 has been specifically designed to meet the tight tolerances demanded by commercial solar contractors and the expansive solar fields they install.

• Autoplumb: The PD10 can correct the pile angle to complete verticality or preprogrammed angle without manual adjustment by the operator. The mast automatically moves to a plumb orientation with a touch of a button. No longer is a hand level needed to position the mast vertically. This feature helps reduce both cycle time and out-of-plumb piles.
• Dual joystick controls: Conveniently placed controls allow for intuitive operation and increased operator comfort.
• Efficient ground drive: Operators can move from one pile to the next quickly and accurately. With precise control, operators can spend less time installing every pile.
• Extractor: Allows for easy removal of piles, as one machine can both drive and extract posts.
• GPS integration: The PD10 has the capability to accept a number of GPS systems, reducing surveying time, as well as helping to install posts at the correct depth, location and angle.
• Improved hammer energy: Provides greater hammer energy as compared to the previous iteration of the model, which helps drive larger, longer piles faster in difficult ground conditions.
