Ramming its way into pole position
Easy to operate, Wacker Neuson’s BS50-4As four-stroke rammer delivers
ideal soil compaction results.
A drive to deliver mature products
that meet the needs of the
customer has led Wacker Neuson
rammers to become the most
widely sold rammers worldwide.
Used for all traditional rammer
work, such as applications in
trenches and within buildings,
the battery rammer AS50e
provides safety for the operator
as the unit is 100% emission free
and noise reduced. The battery
can easily be removed without
tools in a few simple steps. The
runtime of the rammer is 30
continuous minutes, which is
usually sufficient to accomplish
a full day’s work. Low operating
costs are an additional advantage
since the typical maintenance
jobs of conventional rammers, for
example maintenance work on
the carburettor, are not required
with the battery-powered rammer.
The two-stroke rammers
from Wacker Neuson work with
very low emissions and are
driven by the WM80 engine
that was specially designed and
developed by Wacker Neuson.
Thanks to its catalytic converter,
it falls well below all exhaust
standard limits. A multistage air
cleaner system efficiently cleans
the intake air, thereby ensuring
the long-term operational
readiness of the rammer.
The Wacker Neuson two-stroke
gasoline vibratory rammers boast
the lowest total emissions on the
market. Four models are currently
available: the BS50-2, BS60-2,
BS50-2plus, as well as the BS60-
2plus. A special feature of 2plus-
rammers is the extra-large oil
tank that only requires a top up
after 120 hours of operation and
is available with a lockable cover,
eliminating the risk of incorrect
refuelling.
Wacker Neuson’s four-stroke
rammers’ high stroke energy,
percussion rate, and long shoe
stroke, combined with a fast-
advanced travel, achieve ideal
compaction results. Intelligent
features such as the integrated
oil protection with automatic
shutdown provide additional
safety and user-friendliness.
Furthermore, the first-class air
filter leads to three times longer
replacement intervals, extending
the rammer’s service life and
keeping maintenance costs
down. Both four-stroke-rammer
models, BS50-4As and BS60-
4As, are ideal for cohesive soils
and are easy-to-operate, which
is important for edge areas and
round elements.
The DS70 diesel rammer, like
the four-stroke rammers, is ideal
for compaction of cohesive,
mixed, and coarse-grained
soils. Thanks to its low carbon
emissions, it is also suited for
work in trenches.
