Just a couple of weeks ago, we were excited to announce the arrival of a brand new Kowan WP-150 Silent Piling Still Worker to our rental fleet, freshly painted in our signature Watson & Hillhouse yellow. Well, it didn’t stay in the yard for long. This in-demand machine has already been out on its first hire!
Before heading out, our team of expert engineers put the WP-150 through our rigorous pre-rental checks, ensuring it was in peak condition and ready to perform. This meticulous process is a cornerstone of our commitment to providing reliable and high-performing equipment to our customers.
Why the Kowan Silent Piling Still Worker is a Top Choice for Noise and Vibration Sensitive Projects:
The Kowan Pile Press Still Worker continues to be a popular choice for projects where minimising noise and vibration is paramount. Its unique design allows for virtually silent and vibration-free pile installation, making it a valuable asset in a variety of challenging environments.
Key Advantages of the Kowan WP-150:
Versatile Sheet Pile Compatibility
The WP-150 handles a wide range of U sheet piles, including 400mm, 500mm, and 600mm widths, offering flexibility for diverse project requirements.
Silent and Vibration-Free Operation
Ideal for built-up areas, residential neighbourhoods, hospitals, schools, and other noise-sensitive locations.
Ideal for Restricted Access Sites
Its compact design and manoeuvrability make it suitable for projects with limited headroom, such as within buildings, under bridges, or near underground utilities.
Adaptable to Challenging Ground Conditions
The Kowan Still Worker can be used with water-jetting or pre-augering for dense granular or stiff cohesive soils, expanding its range of applications.
Fast and Efficient Pile Cycling
The exclusive mast tilt/self-leveling function allows for rapid pile cycle times, maximizing productivity on site.
Enhanced Safety
The self-travel support system ensures a safe and stable piling process for your team.
Looking Ahead – The Electric Revolution
We’re also looking forward to the arrival of the NEW Kowan zero-emission fully electric power pack, available for hire later in 2025. This will further enhance the environmental benefits of the Kowan Still Worker, making it an even more sustainable option for your projects.
