MT-62HS — GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT-62HS Tamping Rammer is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive impacts to a soil surface. Its applications include soil compacting for backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.
The impact force of the MT-62HS levels and uniformly compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force.The MT-62HS tamping rammer develops a powerful compacting force at the foot of the rammer. To maintain optimum performance, proper operation and service are essential.
Construction of Tamping Rammer
The Mikasa MT-62HS is equipped with an Robin air cooled, oil- injected two cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of the power takes place by increasing the engine speed to engage the centrifugal clutch.
