Pile driving is dangerous. I've never seen anyone drive piles with anything without a free fall option... Especially not a liebherr... The soup bowl of south Louisiana causes us to have to drive piles for just about any foundation. I drove piles with a CK1000 kobelco which is hydraulic over friction with a diesel hammer. Basically, the hammer is on one winch, and a second winchline is ran over the leads with nothing but a becket to lift the pile. Two ropes hang from the hammer, one to stop it when pulled, another to activate a latch so the trigger is lifted by the crane. Trigger falls, hammer fires up, and knocks pile down. Hardest part is "belling" the pile. Lift the hammer to the top of the leads and lift the pile vertical and get the top of the pile into the hood.
Sheet pile can be driven by anything... Just gotta be prepared to lose bolts and pins and welds after a while. Any pile driving puts a serious toll on a crane. Hence the safety issues...
