The Ammann APR 40/60 is a powerful, easy‑to‑handle reversible plate compactor built for fast and efficient compaction on a wide variety of jobsites. Weighing 580 lbs and delivering 9,442 lbf of impact force, it provides excellent compaction depth and consistent results. Easy to control with forward and reverse hydrostatic drive, and a neutral position allowing for on the spot compaction. The low‑vibration guide handle helps reduce operator fatigue during longer runs. Capable of quick directional changes and made for efficient compaction even in tight and challenging areas.
