Beton Trowel BTR60H Tamping Rammer — 9.8 x 11.8 In. Shoe, Honda GX100

This is the light rammer in Beton Trowel's range, and light is the point. At 63 kg (139 lbs) with a 250 mm (9.8 in.) shoe, it goes where the bigger machines will not — narrow utility trenches, around service laterals, tight interior backfill, and up against walls where a 280 mm shoe has nowhere to land.

It still does real work: 1,000–1,200 kgf of impact force at 600–695 blows per minute. That is the right amount of energy for shallower lifts and confined backfill; putting a heavier rammer in a narrow trench does not compact better, it just makes the machine harder to control and more likely to damage what you are backfilling around.

Power is a Honda GX100, and the drive runs through an automatic centrifugal clutch, so the shoe sits still at idle and engages as the operator opens the throttle. The jump range is 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in.), slightly wider than the bigger machines, which gives the operator more control on soft material.

Key Features & Benefits

• 139 lbs — the lightest rammer in the range, genuinely manageable by one operator
• 250 x 300 mm (9.8 x 11.8 in.) shoe — fits narrow trenches the 11 in. machines cannot enter
• 1,000–1,200 kgf impact force (approximately 9.8–11.8 kN)
• 600–695 blows per minute — the widest range in the family
• 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in.) jump — more operator control on soft material
• Honda GX100, 98 cc, recoil start
• Automatic centrifugal clutch — shoe idles still, engages on throttle

Specifications

Straight talk on two published figures. The "2,205 lbs. force" you will see on this machine is exactly 1,000 kgf — the bottom of Beton Trowel's published 1,000–1,200 kgf range — so it is accurate but conservative. A "7,228 lbs" figure also circulates in dealer spec tables and is not plausible for a rammer this size. You will also see the engine listed as a "GXR100" in at least one major retailer's title; the engine is a GX100, which that same retailer's own description confirms. Finally, Beton Trowel's spec sheet prints this machine's width as 650 mm where its two larger siblings are 412 mm; we have left the overall width out of the table rather than republish what looks like a factory typo. Ask and we will get the real figure.

Beton Trowel publishes no crated shipping weight for any rammer in this range, and we will not invent one.

Shipping

This machine ships by freight, on a pallet. Beton Trowel does not publish a crated weight for it, so rather than guess at a parcel rate we quote it to your exact address and confirm with you before anything is charged. Tell us on the quote form whether the delivery site has a forklift or a loading dock, because that changes the rate more than the distance does.
