Junttan unveils the new PM5 next-generation pile driving rig 

Junttan, a globally recognized pioneer in piling machinery, is proud to announce the launch of the new PM5 pile driving rig, the latest innovation in the Junttan Evolution Series, introduced in early 2025 and led by the DR5 drilling rig. Completely reimagined and engineered from the ground up, the PM5 sets a new benchmark for productivity, precision, and operator experience in the global pile driving industry. 

The release of the PM5 comes at a historic moment for the company as Junttan celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2026, marking half a century of engineering excellence and pile driving industry leadership. “As we approach this milestone, there is no better way to honor our legacy than by introducing the most advanced pile driving rig we have ever built.,” CEO Tommi Lehtonen stated. “The PM5 embodies Junttan's relentless pursuit of innovation and our commitment to supporting the future of sustainable, efficient foundation construction.” 

Designed in line with the principles of the Evolution Series, the PM5 pushes the boundaries of performance and user-centric design. It combines best-in-class capacity, state-of-the-art features, and effortless transportation, offering contractors greater efficiency from site arrival to project completion. 

 Key Features of the new PM5 

• Advanced Kinematics & Class-Leading Capacity: The PM5 features an entirely optimized kinematic design and a renewed component layout that delivers exceptional capacity with remarkably low ground pressure. Its newly engineered telescopic mast allows the rig to handle both extreme vertical pile lengths and high-inclination work in shorter leader configurations-making it one of the most versatile rigs in its category. 
• Effortless Transport & Fast Setup: Transportation and setup have been engineered for maximum simplicity, speed, and safety. The PM5 can be transported as a complete, work-ready unit, minimizing logistics costs and downtime. With an optional remote-control system, operators can perform most setup actions outside the machine, maintaining full visibility of the surroundings for enhanced on-site safety. Patent-pending hydraulically locking leader connections further streamline the process, enabling tool-free operation and significantly reducing the need for working at heights. 
• A New Era of Operator Experience: The centerpiece of the new PM5 is the Evolution Series cabin and control system, offering a best-in-class work environment and intuitive operation. A completely redesigned Junttan measurement system provides real-time process data, pile driving visualization, machine diagnostics, and continuous performance feedback. New operator-assist features ensure consistency, precision, and a reduced workload-empowering operators to achieve exceptional results with confidence. 

“The PM5 represents a new generation of pile driving, more capable, more intuitive, and easier to deploy than ever before. We believe the PM5 sets a new benchmark for the entire industry and reinforces our role as a global leader in pile driving equipment. With the completely reimagined design, advanced control systems, and class-leading performance, the PM5 gives contractors the confidence to take on more demanding projects with greater efficiency, safety, and precision,” said Tomi Voutilainen, VP, R&D and Product Management at Junttan. “It's a rig built not only for today's job sites but for the evolving challenges of the next 50 years, reflecting a future where Junttan's innovation continues without pause.”
