VULCAN #1 FAMILY HAMMER ACCESSORY GUIDE

Vulcan hammers are designed in “families” of accessory sizing that are designed for maximum adaptability of accessories to a wide variety of hammers. Below is a guide to that interchangeability. While we can verify the compatibility of Vulcan and Raymond accessories, the guide to the Conmaco accessories is just a guide and we cannot accept responsibility for problems arising from the mating of our accessories with their hammers and vice versa.

In the tradition of the original, successfulvulcanhammer.info Guide to Pile Driving Equipment, this volume contains more information on pile driving and driven piles in general and Vulcan pile hammers in particular. Included is:

  1. An overview of pile driving and driven piles;
  2. Bulletin 165, Field Service Manual, Vulcan Offshore Hammers;
  3. Bulletin 168G, Field Service Manual for Vulcan Onshore Air/Steam Hammers;
  4. Bulletin 171A, Field Service Manual, Vulcan Pile Extractors; and
  5. Vulcan Offshore Specification Sheets.

1 All Raymond Hammers were designed to use the Raymond Capblock Shield; these are available from Vulcan. Most Raymond 65CH (and some 65C) hammers used a capblock shield that was integral with the base.

2 Raymond Hammers in this series can always use the Vulcan accessories but Vulcan hammers cannot always use Raymond accessories.

3 The guide to the Conmaco accessories is just a guide and we cannot accept responsibility for problems arising from the mating of our accessories with their hammers and vice versa.
