”Skip Lock Method” has been developed to realise construction of continuous piles with a large spacing between piles, which has been difficult to achieve with the GYRO PILER™ alone. There are two methods: using a dedicated "Skip Lock Attachment" or "GYRO PILER with Skip Lock Specification" with a dedicated saddle. Therefore, it can install a pile with an interval of about twice to three times the pile diameter.
