Product Snapshot: Rammer and Hydraulic Excavator
The Atlas Copco LT6004 Rammer features a slim design that allows it to work close to walls and other obstacles. The rammer can compact granular soils in confined spaces such as trenches, ditches, backfills and foundations. Rubber isolators on each side of the handle reduce vibrations felt by the operator. A single lift point on top allows for easy transport using a winch or crane.

The Deere 26G Compact Excavator has a 20-hp engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards without the need for an aftertreatment system. The redesigned cab features a larger front window and a wider door, and is available as an open or enclosed cab. Deere redesigned the excavator's cooling system for easier maintenance and added a third service panel for easier access.

The ZX300LC-6 Excavator is powered by an 249-hp Isuzu engine that meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards. It boasts a bucket force of 45,400 lb with a maximum digging depth of 25 ft, 10 in. An updated hydraulic system grants better fluid recirculation and improved cycle times. The excavator can readily accept grade-reference add-ons from Topcon, Leica or Trimble.

The CAS90R Rotary-Screw Air Compressor was unveiled at the 2015 NTEA Work Truck Show. It is able to deliver 80 cfm of air at 150 psi. The hydraulically driven, single-stage compressor is able to deliver the high volume of air required for heavy-duty pneumatic tools such as jacks, saws and impact wrenches. A hydraulic aftercooler is integrated into the compressor's design, reducing the footprint size.
