Wacker Neuson BH 55rw Petrol Concrete Breaker 32 x 160

Wacker Neuson BH 55rw Petrol Concrete Breaker (32 x 160)

Overview

The Wacker Neuson BH 55rw is a petrol-powered concrete breaker specifically designed for railway construction and maintenance. Its optimized percussion rate and impact energy make it ideal for tasks such as track tamping and driving sleeper screws, ensuring efficient and precise performance on the tracks.

Design and Build Quality

Constructed with a robust frame, the BH 55rw is built to withstand the demanding conditions of railway maintenance. Its ergonomic design includes full-hood vibration damping, reducing hand-arm vibrations to 4.5 m/s², thereby enhancing operator comfort during extended use. The stable and well-balanced handle allows for easy transportation and maneuverability by a single operator.

Key Technologies and Features

• Optimized Percussion System: Delivers 55 joules of single stroke impact energy at a rate of 1,350 blows per minute, providing the ideal combination of force and speed for compacting track ballast without causing damage. 
• Full-Hood Vibration Damping: Minimizes vibration transmission to the operator, allowing for ergonomic and comfortable working conditions. 
• Large Fuel Tank: The 1.8-liter fuel tank supports extended operation without the need for frequent refueling, enhancing efficiency on the job. 
• Self-Cleaning Percussion System: Reduces maintenance time and costs by preventing debris buildup within the system.
• Extended Maintenance Intervals: The design allows for longer periods between maintenance tasks, with the first regreasing required only after 40 hours of operation.
