Customer Testimonials

We're working hard to construct a boardwalk in Bayonne. It's been great working with RPI Equipment and their CZM pile driver. It was the perfect machine for the job!

I am very impressed with the (MKT V-5sc) hammer. It is very quiet and drives the sheets efficiently

...the (MKT V-5Ecs) hammer is working great! This is the crew driving 4:1 batter pile under an existing bridge. All the other piles were also done with the hammer. Thank you again!

We are a busy marine contractor and had a 70,000 ton breakwater to build. When we discovered with our stone grab looked like it was ready for the scrap pile, we were lucky to find RPI. They rebuilt our bucket for a very reasonable cost always keeping budget in mind. We went on to complete one of our company's most successful projects.

We acquired and had a need to use an old Vulcan 400A air extractor. When we could not get the item to work, found out it was seized up, I immediately thought of a tear down, re-ringing, cylinder rehab, etc. Called RPI about parts availability and such. Bernie suggested that we lube it, drop it straight up, reverse, drop it upside down, repeat, etc. After the procedure, the unit fired, starts great and runs perfect! Thank you again for the advice and expertise on these air powered items.

Ryan and the folks at RPI know their products! Knowledgeable and responsive customer service. RPI are problem solvers and were instrumental in getting us back to work!
