VMV 818 FAQ
Practical Questions Before You Quote
Sales-focused answers to help match the VMV 818 to the right machine, material, and jobsite.
What carrier size does the VMV 818 fit?
The VMV 818 is designed around 10-20 ton excavators. Our team should confirm the final match against your carrier model, hydraulic flow, operating pressure, return pressure, and case drain setup before quoting.
What applications is the VMV 818 best for?
This model is best suited for bulkheads, docks, seawalls, coastal construction, and mid-size contractor production work. The right fit depends on pile type, soil conditions, access, production goals, and carrier hydraulics.
What material can it handle?
The VMV Series can support common marine and foundation materials such as sheet pile, H-beam, timber, vinyl/PVC, and pipe casing. Exact material fit should be reviewed with our team based on pile size, soil, and clamp requirements.
What makes this model different from the other VMV units?
The VMV 818 is the balanced VMV workhorse with more production capability than the VMV 57 while staying practical for mid-size carriers. Our team can compare all three VMV units with your carrier and project details so the attachment is not undersized or oversized for the work.
How do I request a quote or match it to my machine?
Use the Request A Quote form and include your excavator make/model, auxiliary flow, pressure settings, pile material, project location, and timeline. Our team will use those details to help match the attachment to the machine and application.
