Wacker Neuson Adds Honda-powered Rammers to Offering

Wacker Neuson has expanded its vibratory rammer line to include two models powered by a 4-cycle Honda engine. The BS 50-4As and BS 60-4As are equipped with a 3.2-hp GX 100 Honda engine.

Added engine options – Dealers and contractors can choose the engine type to best fit their business preference. The new Honda-powered models join the Wacker Neuson powered 4-cycle rammers as well as the 2-cycle, oil injection models. Also available are the premix 2-cycle and diesel model.

Low oil shutoff – The new BS 50-4As and BS 60-4As offer a unique low oil shutoff technology that protects the engine. When starting the unit, a sensor will detect if machine has no oil or low oil and does not allow the engine to start.

Purge bulb – Starting the engine is easy due to a purge bulb that evacuates air from the fuel line. A compensated carburetor maintains optimum air-fuel ratio for up to three times longer air filter change intervals.

Four-stage air filtration system – The four-stage air filtration system includes a main element with 20% more capacity than the previous design and still uses the rammer’s motion to self-clean, an improved cyclonic pre-filter designed for more efficient dirt removal and a fourth stage “last chance” filter that prevents dust ingestion during filter changes. This new filtration system is designed to provide a virtually dust-free engine for longer life and improved durability.

Compaction performance – All Wacker Neuson rammers are designed for quality compaction performance offering long shoe stroke and more blows per minute as well as exceeding all environmental emissions regulations.
