The zero-emission building site

Vroom Funderingstechnieken and Hillcon have jointly developed a piling rig that is completely battery-powered; it is also the largest of its kind.

This is our contribution to the zero-emission building site. A true product innovation! We are proud to present the Hillcon HSCX1500GLS-E, which will be commissioned by Vroom Funderingstechnieken at the end of 2022. The largest multifunctional zero-emission piling rig can be seen from 24 to 30 October 2022 at the BAUMA fair in Munich. Visit it us at the HSC stand (FS.903/3).

Innovation at its best

The electrification of the piling rig represents a huge reduction in CO2 emissions and eliminates local emissions. In addition, an electric motor is more efficient, its maintenance costs are lower, and it causes less noise pollution. There are no restrictions in the performance and use of the GLS-E series compared with the conventional GLS version.

Radio-controlled lift operation.

Work in heavier soil conditions
Tensile force 150 T and leader length up to 60 m.

After almost 26 years, Gertruud Duijn is saying goodbye to Vroom and will start enjoying her early retirement. She saw the company grow, the work change and the rules increase. But what always remained was the contact with people. “It has always felt like a warm bath here,” she says, […]

Pile class factors DPA-PLUS definitively established

Following the earlier publication on the pile class factors of the DPA-PLUS screw pile, it remained quiet for a month and a half. This was not only due to the Christmas recess, but also because the draft Self-Declaration and the accompanying expert report were subjected to particularly thorough scrutiny. Today […]
