ABSTRACT:
A clamp assembly for attaching a pile to a device for inserting and/or extracting the pile. The clamp assembly has a fixed gripping assembly and a movable gripping assembly. The fixed gripping assembly is rigidly attached to a housing. The movable gripping assembly is rotatably attached to a pivot arm that is pivotably attached to the housing. The pile is placed between the gripping assemblies and a piston causes the pivot arm to rotate such that the pile is gripped between the gripping assemblies. The movable gripping assembly rotates relative to the pivot arm into a desirable position relative to the pile as it engages the pile to increase the ability of the clamp assembly to grip the pile. An anvil formed on the top of the clamp assembly facilitates attachment of the clamp assembly to the pile driving and/or extracting device and alleviates damage to the bolts used to attach the clamp assembly to the pile driving and/or extracting device.
