R422 Rammer Series

The R422 & R442 Series Rammers are ideally suited for the compaction of granular, mixed and cohesive soils in confined areas. A mainstay in contractor and municipal fleets, the R422 & R442 offer highly productive percussion rammers at less than 145 or 150 lbs. respectively. The contoured fuel tank provides the largest fuel capacity in its class and effectively baffles engine noise. Power is supplied by Honda engines. Model R442 delivers approximately 25% more compaction force and is recommended for heavy clay soils.
