MT-60H/H2 — GENERAL INFORMATION
Definition of Tamping Rammer
The MQ Mikasa MT-60H/H2 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 road, embankments and reservoirs as well
as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable
installation work.
The impact force of the MT-60H/H2 levels and uniformly
compacts voids between soil particles to increase dry density.
Circular motion is converted to create impact force. The MT-
60H/H2 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 MQ Mikasa MT-60H/H2 Tamping Rammer is equipped with
an Robin air cooled, four cycle gasoline engine. Transmission of
the power takes place by increasing the engine speed to engage
the centrifugal clutch.
Rammer Gearbox and Spring Cylinder
The MQ Mikasa MT-60H/H2 uses an oil bath lubrication system.
Always check the oil level through the oil level sight glass at the
rear of the tamper foot.
