About DELMAG
DELMAG GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Niedernberg, develops and produces diesel hammers – diesel-powered impact hammers for foundation work such as driving steel profiles and precast concrete piles as well as for load-bearing capacity tests on driven piles. The diesel hammers operate according to the impact atomization principle invented by DELMAG, whose mode of operation corresponds to that of a two-stroke engine, and feature an adjustable fuel pump to adapt to the pile material and soil conditions. Since 2000, the company has been part of the ABI Group based in Niedernberg and focuses on the piling business, including pile driving rigs and complete piling systems with accessories. For the Asian market, diesel hammers have been produced since 2009 at DELMAG Shanghai Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd. The company serves customers worldwide, including in the USA, France, Canada, England, Switzerland and Asia.
