The Hitachi ZV-R and ZV-RLS series of vibratory rammers are user-friendly and offer a high power output – with improved propulsion. Easily manoeuvrable, the products also offer powerful compaction force, making them ideal for confined working conditions.
In addition to an easy to use throttle lever, the ZV-R models come equipped with a low-vibration handle and visible oil gauge. The ZV-RLS series features a lightweight body, easy-to-maintain engine oil and air cleaner, and Pipe Guard engine protection.
These features – combined with the centralised location of the controls and convenient engine-off switch – help improve the overall safety and performance of the rammers.
The ZV-R and ZV-RLS models include many common components. The crank, handle and cylinder units, and ramming shoe allow efficient servicing and are easily replaceable, minimising any potential downtime.
The rubber isolator has a high capacity for vibration damping and a built-in stopper system to reduce stress applied during operation. These useful features decrease the likelihood of wear and increase service life.
