A diesel hammer can be a single or double acting hammer. The diesel hammer is a precision pile hammer and has a high-energy rating. The diesel hammer is efficient and compact as it carries its own fuel from which it generates its power internally. Diesel hammers use rapid combustion of fuel to directly drive the pile down and the ram up. The unit contains a fuel-injection system, ram, anvil, and vertical cylinder. 2, record 1, English, - diesel%20hammer
