8350 Bauer is offering new piling rigs, including models developed for the Chinese market needs. According to general manager Michael Minsky, the new GB80S is an improved version of the earlier GB60 model. He said “We did an upgrade and made it stronger and more productive.”

The BCS40 is built specifically for the Chinese market. Although sharing the same build quality as the premium machines, it comes with fewer options and is priced to compete on closer levels to locally made equipment. The base of the machine is made in the firm’s Chinese facility although the cutter unit is imported from Bauer’s German factory.

Minsky said that the firm is also now offering different piling methods for Chinese customers, which have typically relied heavily on conventional kelly bar techniques. The company is now offering its advanced casing oscillator system, which can be used in harder ground conditions than the equipment typically used in China.

Meanwhile the BG55 is a premium machine designed for versatility, weighing around 200tonnes (depending on specification) and with power from a Cat C18 diesel delivering 570kW. Customers can use the machine for a range of different piling types and Minsky said, “The highlight is its functionality.”
