German term or phrase: Hammergerüst

Das ***Hammergerüst*** ermöglicht das Eintreiben von 1,0 m + 1,5 m langen XXXX-Tiefenerderstäben mit Vibrationshämmern.
Die erforderliche Hammeraufnahme (siehe auch Hauptkatalog Blitzschutz/Erdung) muss dem Fabrikat des Vibrationshammers angepaßt sein.
Beim Eintreiben von XXXX-Tiefenerderstäben sind die Hinweise unserer Gebrauchsanleitung (Publication No. 1014) zu beachten.

Der Tiefenerder wird einvibriert. Gewaltsames Einschlagen oder Nietarbeit auf dem oberen Stabende kann zu Beschädigungen der Kupplungselemente führen. Daher muss das Werkzeug des Eintreibham-mers während des Eintreibvorganges kraftschlüssig auf dem Erder aufsitzen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Grundplatte des Arbeitsgerüstes durch den Bedienenden belastet und das Seil durch die Windenkurbel ständig auf Zug gehalten wird.

hammer rig

Explanation:
This is obviously a tool matching the context.

Dehn+Söhne Hammergerüst 600 003
:
Hersteller: Dehn+Söhne
Bezeichnung: Hammergerüst St/tZn
Typ: 600 003
Ausführung: Hammergerüst
Werkstoff: Stahl
Oberfläche: tauchfeuerverzinkt
Hammergerüst zum Eintreiben von Tiefenerderstäben der Länge 1000 und 1500 mm mit Vibrationshämmern. Das Gerät zeichnet sich durch stabile und zweckmäßige Bauweise aus und ist leicht zu transportieren. Die angebaute Seilwinde ermöglicht ein sicheres Führen des Hammers.
https://www.elektro4000.de/Installationsmaterial/Erdung-Blit...

Note 1: the title should be read: Hammergerüst 600 003 for Dehn+Söhne as it is not manufactured by Dehn+Söhne, but from other companies for driving earthing rods from Dehn+Söhne.

Note 2: Dehn+Söhne is Germans most important supplier for lightning arrester systems. As electrical engineer I attended a certified course for planning and lay out of such systems organized by Dehn+Söhne approx. 20 years ago.

Hammer Inserts for Earth Rods
For driving in earth rods by vibration hammer.
https://www.dehn.co.uk/en-gb/1659/4990/Familie-html/4990/Ham...

Again: driving rigs and drivers are supplied by external companies.

Earth rod hammer
Part No. Description (”)Weight Each (kg)
HM005 Atlas Copco Cobra TT petrol driven hammer 24
HM010 Earth rod adapter (Suitable for 5 ⁄8” earth rods) 3
– For projects where hand driving is uneconomical owing to a large quantity of rods or unfavourable ground conditions, the earth rod hammer can drastically cut installation times

Hammer rig
Part No. Description Weight Each (kg)
HM105 Hammer rig 196.35
– By mounting a hammer onto a rig, longer lengths of earth rods can be driven. For projects where large quantities of rods are required cost savings can be achieved, for example, by using single 8 ft rods rather than 2 x 4 ft rods which would need couplers etc. Installation time is also considerably reduced. Please specify length of rod to be driven and type of hammer to be used when ordering

This is what a "forge hammer frame" looks like, a heavy machinery for forging hot lingots:

Thanks to Kim, who found the German-English instruction manual for the "Hammergerüst". This is certainly a translation from German to English and must be used warily, considering the fact that most translators in Germany are not native English speakers. Let’s now check, whether the used translation "hammer frame" is correct or better or not:

The Goggle image search shows a lot of different images for "hammer frame" from dowel pins to bicycle frame, but no item fitting the subject:
https://www.google.de/search?q="hammer frame"&lr=&hl=de&sour...

The same for "hammer rig" looks quite different:
The first picture shows such item:
Alcomet Hammer Rig | Alcomet
A Hammer Rig for earth rod driving
https://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=https://www.alcomet.net/...

The 4th image contains:
By mounting a hammer onto a rig, longer lengths of earth rods can be driven.
http://www.keison.com/furse/earth_accessories.htm
(Supplier: Keison International Ltd)

The next image leads to a video:
Hammer Drilling Rigs: K40 Short Mast - Foundation & Micro Piling
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u3uQuJSz6A
from Hammer Drilling Rigs, LLC, USA
http://www.hammerdrillingrigs.com/

Then a sketch:
Drop hammer rig (Not to Scale)
https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Drop-hammer-rig-Not-to-S...

A pile driver is a device used to drive piles (poles) into soil to provide foundation support for buildings or other structures. The term is also used in reference to members of the construction crew that work with pile-driving rigs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_driver

etc. and there are much more genuine sources. So we can be sure that "hammer rig” is correct and "hammer frame" is Germish invented by a German translator, not knowing the correct term.
See also direct references for "hammer rigs” as well:
https://www.google.de/search?lr=&hl=de&as_qdr=all&biw=1119&b...

Another check: What is contained in English dictionaries?
No "hammer" rig or "hammer frame" contained in Etymonline.com, The free Dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, or Merriam-Webster.
But if you enter "rig” or "frame" as terms into
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=rig
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/rig
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/rig
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rig
you can compare the different definition resulting in another confirmation for "rig" (too much as to cite on this place)

Hammer frames in hammer mills

09:46 Nov 9, 2018

See how differently a "Hammergerüst/Hammergestell" in medieval hammer mills was constructed:

3.1.4 Das Hammergerüst
Bär und Hammerstiel werden von einem über dem Hammer gespannten Razmen aus mächtigen Holzstämmen zusammen gehalten und geführt, der in zusätzlichen Fundamenten außerhalb des Gebäudes abgestützt war. ..
:
Abbildung 10: Schwedisches Hammergestell mit Hammerfundamenten
Aus RINMAN 1788
https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd...
(S. 24/25)

Das Hammergerüst besteht hauptsächlich aus Eichenholz. Es war seinerzeit der preisgünstigste Werkstoff, der fähig war, den anfallenden Beanspruchungen und Belastungen standzuhalten. Die im Hammergerüst in den Backeisen beweglich gelagerten Hämmer – diese stecken in gusseisernen Hülsen mit seitlichen Lagerzapfen - werden über eine große Welle aus Eichenholz angetrieben.

Thank you for this comprehensive compilation of used terms for windmills in 4 languages! May interest enthusiasts for historical windwills. But again, wrong context:

Industrial mills / Werkmühlen
7004 ironworks, iron-forge, foundry, smelting mill / (Eisen-)Hüttenwerk n, Erz-,Schmelz-, (Eisen-)hütte f
7020 (hammer) forge, hammer mill, forge hammer / Hammerschmiede f
7023 hammer frame, -framing / Hammergerüst n

The asker does not need terms for wooden constructions like hammer frames, but for working rigs to earth lightning arrester systems.

Kim found a German/English instruction from the German company Dehn, using the term "hammer frame". I checked it and proved that this is not the term in UK or in USA, and probably "created" by anybody not knowing the real English term. Unfortunately he supported a different proposal than mine, not considering that the answerer already confirmed that I am right (not he). Reason for this mistake/confusion: only one reference was given the a German-English dictionary where "forge hammer frame" was used in the heavy metal industry (wrong subject).

The hammer is suitable for driving all types of piles: precast concrete, steel tube, sheet and timber piles. The design of the hammer frame and drive cap makes for low impact noise and less vibration while piling. http://www.canadianpile.com/products/hydraulic-impact-hammer...

OK, Johannes Gleim's comment is justified! ;-)
But the "hammer frame" part should still be possible/acceptable/correct ??
