A pile driver is a mechanical device used to drive piles (poles) into soil to provide foundation support for buildings or other structures. The term is also used in reference to members of the construction crew that work with pile-driving rigs.
Pile driver weighs below 47 tons (1 ton is equal to 1000 kilograms) and not less than 15 tons its gross weight excluding the driver but with brimmed fuel.
One traditional type of pile driver includes a heavy weight placed between guides so that it is able to freely slide up and down in a single line. It is placed above a pile (pole). The weight is raised, which may involve the use of hydraulics , steam , diesel , or manual labour. When the weight reaches its highest point it is then released and smashes on to the pile in order to drive it into the ground.
