ANTAEUS NO SHOCK
The most advanced vibration dampener on the market. Protect your crane from vibration damage on older vibratory hammers with our new Patent-Pending Device invented by John White.
features and faq
- Load/Safety pin allows for a visual indication of how much weight is being held by the crane. Know how much load your crane is actually holding by simply looking at the safety pin in the center of the machine.
- We use shackles instead of wire rope. Competitive units have 200% more parts that can go wrong or vibrate loose, our design has almost no moving parts.
- This device is going to dampen about 90-95% of all vibration to the crane. Don't believe it? Try one and be amazed. You won't want to do another job without one. This thing is seriously amazing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What vibratory hammers do these work on? Up to what size?
A: The No-Shock will dampen up to 45 tons (90,000 lbs) of hanging weight. Therefore it will work on any size vibratory driver/extractor as long as the overall hanging weight does not exceed 45 tons. Max line pull it can handle is 175 US tons.
Q: Tunkers and ICE dampeners are a lot lighter in weight, why is the no-shock so heavy?
A: The 4,300 lbs of the no-shock compared to 1,800 lbs or so of the competition is by design. The extra weight allows for effective dampening of startup and shutdown, it takes the shock so your crane does not. If the dampener is too light it won’t dampen as effectively and the boom of the crane will take the hit.
Q: Can we rent the No-Shock?
A: Yes, call for a quote in your area.
Q: How long will it last?
A: This machine will go at least 5 years without any need to maintain it other than periodically checking that the Ballast weight bolts are still tight. Competitive machines have many pins and wire ropes that can wear, break, or fall off, whereas the no-shock device is solid steel and essentially has no wear items other than the rubber elastomers that typically have a 5-10 year life.
Q: Can this go underwater?
A: Yes, the rubber elastomers we are using is Generation 5, meaning the chemical locking we are using on the elastomer is designed to go in the ocean for long durations without any impact.
Q: How do I rig it to my vibro?
A: We have a rigging team that can help you, typically they are rigged to the hammer with a braided wire rope and remain connected to the Vibro for the duration of the job.
