Higher productivity, lower operating costs and improved operator comfort

• Ammann introduces the ATR 59 and ATR 66 rammers, replacing the ATR 60 and ATR 68 with lighter, more efficient models.

• Both machines feature ergonomic enhancements such as improved handlebars, optimized ramming angles, and better height adjustment to reduce operator fatigue.

• Serviceability is improved with extended intervals, tool-free access, and a durable spring system, lowering maintenance costs and downtime.

• The ATR 59 offers versatile compaction for everyday tasks, while the ATR 66 provides greater impact force for demanding applications, both supporting sustainability with efficient engines and recyclable components.

Ammann introduces new ATR 59 and ATR 66 rammers

Ammann is expanding its compaction portfolio with the introduction of the ATR 59 and ATR 66 rammers.

With the ATR 59 and ATR 66, Ammann offers two next‑generation rammers that deliver measurable added value for contractors through higher productivity, improved ergonomics and simplified maintenance.

A key advantage of the machines is their lower weight compared to the previous generation, while maintaining efficient performance. The new models replace the existing ATR 60 and ATR 68 rammers (Classic and Premium) and will be offered in a single premium configuration. This streamlined concept ensures that every contractor benefits from Ammann’s latest innovations without having to choose between different versions.

Developed for tougher and longer jobs

Both the ATR 59 and ATR 66 are designed around the needs of contractors: availability, ease of use and total cost of ownership. Ergonomic improvements include a more comfortable 30 mm handlebar, an optimized ramming angle and an improved height adjustment with stop function.

These features reduce operator fatigue during long shifts while improving control and compaction consistency. The redesigned engine layout positions the power unit closer to the machine body. This enhances the centre of gravity and manoeuvrability – especially valuable in trench work and confined areas. The reduced engine speed (from 4,300 rpm to 3,600 rpm) lowers fuel consumption and emissions without compromising performance.

Less downtime, lower costs

Serviceability improvements help reduce interruptions on site. A larger air filter housing with self‑cleaning function offers better protection against contamination, while tool‑free access simplifies daily checks. As a result, service intervals have been extended by 25%, increasing machine availability and reducing maintenance costs.

The durable, maintenance‑free spring system – lubricated with long‑life grease – further reduces operating costs and ensures reliable compaction performance over the entire life of the machine.

Easy transport

The optional, tool‑free transport kit with larger wheels and an integrated holder enables stable transport over rough terrain – saving time and effort between jobs.

Sustainability by design

The new rammers support contractors’ sustainability goals through efficient engines, compatibility with synthetic or blended fuels and long‑lasting components made from wear‑resistant steel. At the end of their life, the machines and their components are highly recyclable.

ATR 59: Versatile performance for everyday compaction

The ATR 59 is designed for a wide range of applications and offers high compaction output with excellent manoeuvrability. The ergonomic open handle design provides an unobstructed view of the shoe and multiple grip positions for precise control. Contractors benefit from faster, more uniform compaction with less physical strain on operators.

ATR 66: Powerful force for demanding applications

Based on the same ergonomic and service‑friendly platform as the ATR 59, the ATR 66 delivers higher impact force for more demanding compaction tasks. It is particularly suitable for sites where additional power is required – while still offering the same operator comfort and machine durability.
