Recently, I heard from a friend about an accident involving a pile driver overturning. At a construction site in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, a pile driver suddenly collapsed without any warning signs and struck vehicles parked by the roadside. Three individuals were severely affected, though there were no fatalities. Such incidents are a nuisance to both the construction site managers and private vehicle owners. This reminder is issued to all pile driver operators to carefully observe their surroundings for pedestrian and vehicle-dense areas and to test whether the soil can support the heavy equipment before parking the pile driver. Similar incidents have been reported not only once but also in international locations like New York, Malaysia, Tokyo, among others. The overturning of an expensive pile driver, resulting in casualties and property damage, is indeed a tragic and distressing event. The editorial team from Tengzhou Yunda Engineering Machinery Factory has summarized a few suggestions for all operators: 1. There should be a dedicated person directing the operation while pile drivers are working. Commanders and operators should check signals with each other before starting work and cooperate closely during the operation. 2. At the start, use a bell or other means to signal and notify surrounding people to leave. 3. The pile driver should accelerate from a low speed to a high gear. 4. During operation, close attention should be paid to the current and voltage indicators on the control panel. If any unusual noises or other abnormalities are detected, the machine should be immediately shut down for inspection.
