Can highway guardrail pile drivers also drill holes?

The guardrail pile driver for highways is a type of construction machinery specifically designed for installing corrugated guardrail steel pipe piles along the edges of roadbeds. During construction, certain sections of the road may require the setting of steel pipe piles at the edge of the pavement, necessitating drilling. Moreover, in situations where the stratum is particularly hard, direct piling is not feasible, and drilling is required. So, can highway pile drivers also drill holes?


Functionally, these machines are equipped for piling, drilling, and extracting piles, making them versatile for various applications including:


1. Highway construction, with additional uses in other sites such as farms, ranches, orchards, etc., for drilling, piling, and extracting piles.

2. The construction power setup includes the use of efficient, high-performance Yuedi diesel engines, providing a powerful source of energy for construction. This ensures reliable power and significantly improved fuel efficiency.

The highway drilling machine series falls within the broader category of highway pile drivers. In this category, there are integrated drilling rigs, each configured according to user needs. While the machine body remains the same, the working components vary. Therefore, a highway pile driver may not be able to drill in its standard configuration, but by changing these components, it can be adapted for various functions. It's known that direct piling cannot be achieved on some complex terrains, requiring drilling after piling. In these instances, both piling and drilling functionalities are needed. The general construction method involves drilling in the sections where holes are needed, followed by piling. This explains why the appearance of the highway drilling machine with a front end is similar to that of the highway pile driver - both devices share the same carrier but differ in their functional components.
