Vibratory pile hammers contain a system of counter-rotating eccentric weights, powered by hydraulic motors, and designed in such a way that horizontal vibrations cancel out,  while vertical vibrations are transmitted into the pile.  The pile driving machine is lifted and positioned over the pile by means of an excavator or crane, and is fastened to the pile  by a clamp and/or bolts. Vibratory hammers can either drive in or extract a pile; extraction is commonly used to recover steel "H" piles used in temporary foundation shoring. Vibratory pile drivers are often chosen to mitigate noise, as when the construction is  very close to residence or office buildings, or when there is not enough vertical clearance above the foundation to permit use of a conventional pile hammer.
