What Is a Pile Extractor?
A pile extractor is a hydraulic attachment or stand-alone system that removes driven piles from the ground. It uses vertical pull force — assisted by vibration or static grip — to loosen piles embedded in soil, clay, or compacted fill. Ideal for:
- Temporary foundations
- Pile repositioning
- Demolition and site clearing
- Marine structure disassembly
