With its new customer-focused features, see how Rammer's Excellence Line demonstrates its commitment to assisting businesses in enhancing their performance.
The Rammer Excellence Line continues the company’s tradition of delivering innovative hammers designed to improve profitability, safety and performance. With its new customer-focused features, the line demonstrates Rammer’s commitment to assisting businesses in enhancing their performance.
The Excellence Line is comprised of state-of-the-art hydraulic hammers that are ready for all rock-breaking requirements, whether the hammer is being used in a quarry, on a demolition project, in tunnel or for any other application.
The newly updated range now includes integrated smart technology, RD3 and MyFleet monitoring system for easier fleet management and more efficient processes. This continues Rammer’s tradition of delivering innovative hammers designed to improve profitability, safety and performance.
The Excellence Line has been designed to be easier to adjust Idle Blow Protection (IBP) in the field, decreasing both operating and maintenance costs. IBP ensures that the hammer cannot be operated until pressure is placed on the tool. In addition, all large Rammer hammers have the Stroke Selector adjustable feature, which allows the operator to optimize hammer operation according to material and application. The selector allows the hammer to have more frequent lower power strokes in softer material or to fewer high-power strokes in hard material.
New separate greasing channels from the valve body to the lower and upper tool bushing enable optimum greasing for both bushings. This increases the lifetime of the tool and tool bushings, saving money on maintenance costs. The latter is achieved due to the upgraded Rammer Ramlube II, an on-hammer automatic greasing device, with separate dozers to adjust optimum grease amounts to tool bushings and an easily changed grease cartridge which provides ease of maintenance in the field.

See how Rammer's Ho Pac compactor can handle different tasks on your job site.
Rammer Ho-Pac vibratory compactor drivers save time and money and increase productivity by expanding versatility and eliminating the need for special-purpose machines, such as walk-behind plate compactors or ride-on rollers.
The Ho-Pac models use an eccentric, rotating weight that creates vibrations and impulse energy for effective soil compaction. Not only can you use the attachment to compact soil on the job site, but depending on the model, it can also be used to drive pilings, aluminum sea walls, wood and steel sheeting, beams, pipes and posts.
Initially conceived as a backhoe-mounted attachment, the Ho-Pac line is comprised of many models designed to be mounted on various carriers, including miniexcavators, rubber-tired backhoes, excavators and trenchers with a backhoe attachment.

Mass production of the Doosan DD100 will begin in June and will launch in North America in the third quarter.
Hyundai Doosan Infracore (HDI), which has a North American office in Suwanee, Georgia, has shipped the first Doosan dozer model DD100, a 9-metric-ton dozer targeted at the North American market.
HDI also produced two additional pilot machines and shipped them to North America for various performance tests, sales, marketing and service training.
The mass production of the Doosan DD100 will begin in June and will launch in North America in the third quarter, according to the company. With the launch of the dozer, HDI hopes to create synergies with its existing excavator and wheel loader models.
“This is the next significant milestone in the development of the new Doosan dozers,” says Edward Song, CEO of Doosan Infracore North America. “Our North American dealers and their customers are eager for the arrival of the new Doosan dozers. We look forward to launching the new line of construction equipment later this year.”
The company says the dozer model was the first to be produced through the collaboration of various departments at HDI, including development analysis, market research, competitive benchmarking, validation and pilot vehicle assembly. In addition, purchasing and quality teams investigated parts supply while production teams completed the first production dozer model.
HDI also says it set plans for its 13-metric-ton dozer, the Doosan DD130, and will be shipping a pilot machine later this year. The company plans to start production as early as February 2023.
City government reportedly is working with property owner on a demolition plan for the 48-year-old structure.
An 800-space multi-level parking garage in Troy, New York, may be nearing an appointment with a demolition contractor, according to a local media report.
A report from Albany, New York-based Times-Union indicates the city government of Troy and the owner of the privately held garage are “working out the details” to start a four-month process of the closed Uncle Sam Garage.
The Times-Union says the five-story garage, built in 1974, has twice been shut in the last two years for safety reasons.
The current property owner, Troy-based Bryce Cos., had said it intended to “eventually” redevelop the 1.715-acre site, but an initial proposal has not proceeded, according to the newspaper.
The Times-Union cites a spokesperson for the Troy mayor’s office as saying Bryce Cos. has not yet obtained a demolition permit, but the city is “developing plans” to deal with any traffic impacts caused by the garage’s dismantling process.
The multitine grab excels in terms of exceptional load-bearing capacity, resistance and durability.
Liebherr, a European construction and scrap handling equipment manufacturer, has launched the multitine grab GMM 50-5.
According to a news release from Liebherr, the multitine grab excels in terms of exceptional load-bearing capacity, resistance and durability. The equipment features a comprehensive portfolio of buckets and a wide selection of optional equipment, meaning diverse materials can be handled efficiently and economically in recycling and scrap handling. The GMM 50-5 is available for material handlers with an operating weight of between 35 to 55 metric tons.
The components of the GMM 50-5 are made of sturdy cast steel as well as low-wear, high-strength steel sheets. The consistent use of high-quality materials guarantees extreme stability and resistance for the toughest applications and material handling scenarios, and the special shape of the tine support and the buckets was developed based on state-of-the-art calculation and simulation software.
The company says it paid special attention to maximizing service life in the design phase. To split the high torque, the slewing drive, for example, was equipped as standard with two motors. Both rotary transmission and the reinforced slewing drive are sealed multiple times to give maximum protection against external factors such as dust and water.
Large and flow-optimized oil ducts ensure fast work speeds and efficient machine operation. The sealed, anti-twist piston rod protection for hydraulic cylinders is also included with the grab as standard. The latter comes with new cylinder kinematics, which guarantees a long-lasting and good closing mechanism when the tines become worn.
As the lubrication points are arranged ergonomically, the GMM 50-5 is supplied with the lubrication in a short space of time. Perfect tolerances and generously dimensioned bearing surfaces lead to a smooth interplay of the individual components, according to the company.
Due to the optional motor and hose protection, damage to rotary motors and hydraulic lines is minimized. An optional central lubrication system assumes regular, automatic lubrication of all central points. The GMM 50-5 can be equipped with shackles to protect magnetic plates. The tines can be equipped with a reinforcement set of wear-resistant sheets.
The GMM 50-5 is designed especially for optimal grabbing of mixed and shredder waste as well as chippings or shavings with content of up to 1.10 cubic meters. The arrangement and shape of the tines are optimized for perfect penetration and holding of bulky, loose material.
There is a choice of three different tines for handling diverse materials. The version with open tines can handle large-size and bulky scrap objects. The version with semiclosed tines handles medium-sized, mixed materials and shredding waste. Small, fine materials and chippings or shavings can be handled most effectively with closed, heart-shaped tines.
