BS60-2plus Vibratory Rammer 2 Stroke – The Ultimate Jumping Jack Tamping Rammer Compactor for Professional Soil Compaction
When it comes to compacting soil efficiently, especially in confined areas, few machines can match the power, precision, and reliability of the BS60-2plus Vibratory Rammer 2 Stroke - Jumping Jack Tamping Rammer Compactor. Trusted by construction professionals worldwide, this robust piece of equipment delivers the compaction strength needed to create stable, long-lasting foundations, all while prioritizing operator comfort and fuel efficiency.
We will explore what makes the BS60-2plus vibratory rammer a market leader, including its design, features, applications, technical specifications, and the benefits it offers contractors and project managers alike.
What is the BS60-2plus Vibratory Rammer 2 Stroke - Jumping Jack Tamping Rammer Compactor?
The BS60-2plus is a high-performance vibratory rammer, also known in the industry as a jumping jack tamping rammer compactor. Designed by Wacker Neuson—a globally respected name in construction equipment—the BS60-2plus is engineered specifically for compacting cohesive soils, trench backfills, and areas where larger machines like plate compactors or rollers can't reach.
Powered by a robust 2-stroke engine, this machine delivers high-impact force through a compact foot, “jumping” up and down to compact soil effectively. Its advanced design minimizes vibration to the operator while ensuring consistent compaction depth, even in tight spaces.
Key Features of the BS60-2plus Vibratory Rammer
1. Powerful and Reliable 2-Stroke Engine
At the heart of the BS60-2plus is Wacker Neuson's proprietary WM 80 2-stroke engine. Known for its durability and high torque, this engine ensures strong and steady compaction performance, even under tough job site conditions.
Key engine highlights:
-
Optimized fuel combustion for reduced emissions
-
Reliable starts in cold or warm conditions
