Ammann Vibratory Plate Compactors – Hydrostatic Vibratory Plates

Features & Benefits

VERSATILITY FOR THE RENTAL MARKET

Vibratory Plates provide a great range of weights and varied vibratory features to match many applications. The compact machine dimensions and easy upkeep make it ideal for rental companies as well as contractors and landscapers.

CONTROL

The vibratory plates have different exciter systems, but a common thread runs through all: easy operator control. That includes when changing directions or working on steep grades.

THE HANDLE

The standard guide handle is vibration isolated to reduce stress on the operator. It also is foldable and removable, a crucial feature when working in confined areas or during transport. A patented low-vibration guide handle that reduces vibration even further is optional on some machines.”

A HYDRAULIC PUMP

The APH line features a fully hydrostatic system that doesn’t require V belts. A hydraulic pump drives the eccentric shafts and controls adjustment of the centrifugal weights, allowing a smooth change of direction.

TRIPLE-SHAFT EXCITER SYSTEM

A triple-shaft exciter system makes the machines easier to operate while increasing the power and compaction forces. The system keeps plate movement consistent, which in turn enables smooth travel – even through heavy, cohesive soils – and helps effortlessly overcome steep grades. APH machines even can climb while backfilling saturated areas – work that can leave competitive products at a standstill.

ORBITROL STEERING

Unique Orbitrol steering system enhances machine control and agility and boosts safety, too. This fully hydraulic steering tool provides precise control with minimal operator effort.

DEAD MAN’S HANDLE

This optional feature automatically stops the machine when the operator releases the handle. The machine resumes working when the operator regains hold of the handle.

COMPACTION TECHNOLOGY

The APH vibratory plates can be equipped with the well-known Ammann ACE (Ammann Compaction Expert) system, developed for larger Ammann compactors but adjusted to fit the APH line. ACEecon continuously monitors compaction levels for the operator, boosting efficiencies – especially when compacting large areas. ACEforce monitors and can automatically adjust compaction force to provide efficiency and avoid surface damage from over-compaction of sensitive areas.
