Rammers Reduce Risk of Injury and Restrict Fuel Leaks

Multiquip's three new MTX-Series rammers — the MTX-70 (pictured), MTX-80 and MTX-90 — are designed to take the fatigue and strain out of compaction. “Engineering an effective anti-vibration system into each MTX Series rammer means operators will notice significantly reduced fatigue during and after the compaction process,” says Torsten Erbel, director of product development for Multiquip. “This not only improves performance but lowers the risk of injury caused through fatigue or long-term use.”

The gasoline-powered models deliver up to 3,500 pounds of impact force for effective compaction of cohesive and mixed soils. Each rammer is designed for trench work, retaining walls, solidifying bases for concrete slabs and footings, and confined areas.

All three rammers feature recoil start, travel speeds of up to 36 feet per minute, and diaphragm carburetors that allow operators to transport the unit without flooding the engine. The shoe width is 11.2 inches by 13.4 inches on each model.

“A patented air-filtration system minimizes contamination in even the most extreme conditions — a bonus for rental yards as the rammer requires only infrequent service,” adds Erbel. “Also, the muffler and carburetor are housed in a protective cover while a simple fuel and engine shut-off system stops fuel supply when the engine is turned off, preventing fuel leaks and protecting the environment.”
