Wacker Neuson has unveiled its newest generation of 4-stroke rammers for construction projects. The BS62-4Ab and BS68-4Ab 4-stroke rammers are designed to deliver compaction results with their shoe stroke, percussion rate, impact energy and travel speed.
New to the BS62-4Ab and BS68-4Ab is a revised height-adjustable guide handle. The angled shape enables a grip position and relieves strain on the wrist. This guide-handle design enables maneuverability and handling of the rammers.
Wacker Neuson’s 4-stroke rammers come standard with an EquipTrack module, a digital solution for sharing of data via Bluetooth connectivity. The module (or beacon) is attached to the rammer and provides continuous operating data including operating hours, status and detection of load and upcoming maintenance schedules. The EquipTrack app is paired with a smartphone to display information including the unit’s location on the jobsite.
The BS62-4Ab and BS68-4Ab rammers are powered by reliable Honda engines. The BS62-4Ab weighs 141 lbs. and generates an impact force of 3,822 lbs., while the BS68-4Ab weighs 154 lbs. and delivers an impact force of 4,271 lbs. Both units produce 689 blows per minute and feature a shoe stroke height of 2.6 in. They are designed with one simple lever for starting, idling and stopping, including an integrated choke. The new large, flexible lifting eye and redesigned lower carrying handle make it possible to move and transport the units.
Wacker Neuson’s rammers are engineered with maintenance in mind. The new air filter with a large surface area promotes long runtimes. The low oil LED warning indicator reduces the risk of running with insufficient oil.
