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.

Greater comfort
Tilt (15°) and slide cab.
Radio-controlled lift operation.

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

Quicker and safer assembly/disassembly
Fold-away frame with rapid-access lock and reeving winch.

Cleaner
Fully battery-operated, with a 392 kWh battery pack.
