New product: Vibratory damper for crane marketImperial Crane Services Inc.

T hrough Imperial Crane Services Inc.’s partnership with Pile Driving

Solutions Inc., the company is able to present the only certified damper/isolator for the purpose of absorbing the vibration from a vibratory hammer and the damage these hammers put on cranes. Pile Driving Solutions became the official distributor of the Tunkers Vibratory Damper. The damper maxi-mizes the safety of the crane work being done, provides little to no maintenance, minimal setup and a potential 10-year life expectancy based on the number of hours it’s used. “The damper is engineered to absorb the vibration from the vibratory ham-mers, help jobs run smoother, reduce downtime and provide more safety for the type of operations,” said Jay Mooncotch, owner of Pile Driving Solutions. “I’ve been around cranes my whole life and the damper is by far the best investment you can make to protect your cranes

from the vibration put on them. This has opened up a new market for crane rental com-panies, and I had been looking for this solution for over 25 years.” Imperial Crane Services intro-duced its new product at the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association Annual Conference in Carlsbad, California. The damper on display was sold after a crane company learned about added benefits and cost-saving opportunities. Since then, addi-tional dampers have been sold across the U.S. For more information, visit www.piledrivingsolutions.com or contact Jay Mooncotch at (708) 774-5562 or jmooncotch@piledrivingsolutions.com. •
