Ammann e-Drive Rammer Retains Power

The new Ammann eATR 68 Rammer, an electric-drive machine, generates zero emissions and offers a number of other benefits.

“This e-drive machine provides better speed and torque control, which translates to more precise and efficient compaction,” said Ralf Brutschin, Strategic Commercial Manager of Light Equipment at Ammann.

Operators are able to meet compaction targets more quickly, reducing the amount of labor required. “That, in turn, means more profit,” said Brutschin.

There are also big savings after the sale through improved maintenance. “There are no fuel or oil filters to purchase to dispose of,” said Brutschin. “Time spent on maintenance is significantly reduced, too – as is machine downtime for servicing.”

The Ammann eATR 68 offers power that rivals the petrol version of the machine. Both models have stroke heights of 65 mm and percussion rates of 11 Hz. The centrifugal force in the e-drive rammer is 11.5 kN, compared to 13 kN in the petrol version.
