In this comprehensive article, we’ll explore what makes this rammer exceptional, break down its technical specifications, and explain why it should be your next investment.
What is the Wacker Neuson BS68-4Ab/28 Vibratory Rammer?
The Wacker Neuson BS68-4Ab/28 Vibratory Rammer - Jumping Jack Tamping Rammer Compactor is a high-performance soil compactor that uses an up-and-down “jumping jack” motion to deliver deep, targeted compaction. Unlike wider plate compactors, this rammer’s narrow foot is ideal for working in trenches, around footings, along walls, and in other tight areas.
What sets this model apart is its robust 4-stroke engine, advanced vibration damping technology, and engineering focused on operator comfort and efficiency. The BS68-4Ab/28 is built to handle cohesive soils like clay, silty soils, and mixed materials, ensuring that every layer is properly compacted to prevent settling and structural problems later on.
