Description
Are you tired of pulling stubborn recoil cords inside muddy ditch trenches? Upgrade to the DEWALT POWERSHIFT 60Kg Class Rammer. This cordless rammer delivers thirty-one hundred pounds of impact force without gas exhaust. A high-voltage brushless motor runs on POWERSHIFT battery packs. You must recharge the battery packs before running continuous compaction shifts.
DEWALT builds the percussion drive from cast ductile iron bolted to an eleven-inch wear-resistant steel shoe. The high-torque brushless electric motor draws energy from a 554-watt-hour POWERSHIFT lithium battery, driving the percussion system at 680 blows per minute. Total operating weight measures 143 lbs with battery in place. Machine dimensions measure 28 inches long by 14 inches wide by 41 inches high with vibration-dampened handles.
Key Features of DEWALT POWERSHIFT Rammer
Utility contractors buy DEWALT POWERSHIFT rammer kits to cut gas maintenance while tracking competitive commercial battery equipment pricing. Excavation crews compact utility trenches inside enclosed basements without routing auxiliary exhaust hoses.
- Zero emission brushless motor allows legal soil compaction inside enclosed spaces.
- High-output POWERSHIFT lithium battery delivers consistent impact force through the cycle.
- Rugged eleven-inch steel shoe breaks cohesive clay to reach ninety-eight percent compaction.
- Instant push-button start eliminates hard pull cords on freezing winter construction sites.
- Vibration-isolated guide handle cuts hand-arm strain during extended shift compaction runs.
- Parallel guide linkage delivers straight vertical compaction strokes without shoe twisting.
- Fast charger replenishes battery cells in under fifty minutes for rapid shift turnaround.
- Protective battery cage shields power packs from falling aggregate and trench cave-ins.
Impact Energy Percussion Stroke Tolerances
Soil pit measurements verify consistent impact energy throughout the POWERSHIFT battery discharge cycle. The brushless motor delivers 3100 lbs of percussion force, maintaining 680 blows per minute on stiff cohesive clays until cell capacity drops under five percent. Spring cylinder stroke measures 2.6 inches with rod deflection holding under 0.007 inches TIR. Gear casing operating temperatures plateau at 122 degrees Fahrenheit under full load compaction runs. Guide handle isolation mounts cut hand-arm acceleration down to 2.8 meters per second squared.
Trench Usability Battery Maintenance Realities
Guiding this 143-pound rammer along narrow ditch floors feels stable, as forward motion feeds from natural shoe percussion. The glove-friendly start switch actuates positive in freezing temperatures. Do not buy this machine for open highway asphalt paving or large four-inch rock base consolidation. It is designed for cohesive trench soils.
- Wipe fine sand and mud off battery cradle contacts after every shift.
- Check the rammer shoe mounting bolts with a torque wrench every twenty hours.
- Inspect the spring cylinder oil level in the sight glass once per month.
