Bomag’s BT 60 e battery-powered tamper gives customers the best of both worlds – emissions-free operation and performance like its fuel-powered counterpart.
The tamper is in its element where strict noise and emissions limits are set, and the go-anywhere tamper can be safely used in applications such as deep trenches, enclosed structures and tunnels.
Bomag’s BT 60 e tamper made its North American tradeshow debut at ConExpo.
Future-proof tamper design
With its rugged, future-proof design, the battery-powered BT 60 e tamper starts in all weather conditions, with the touch of a button.
It’s powered by a brushless, asynchronous 3.1-hp electric motor that requires no maintenance. As well, the tamper’s rugged casing fully protects the motor from shock, dirt and damage at the jobsite for reliable operation. Eliminating the need for oil and filter changes, service costs for the battery-electric tamper are nearly cut in half compared to the fuel model, resulting in extremely low owning and operating costs.

Two battery sizes are available to operate the BT 60 e tamper – 1,000 Wh or 1,400 Wh. The two battery options are also interchangeable with Bomag’s battery-powered plate compactors to increase flexibility.
The powerpacks are quickly and conveniently swapped out at the release of a lever without the need for a tool. Standard and fast chargers are available for the batteries, and the quick-charge capabilities enable a discharged battery to be ready for use in less than two hours.
On top of the advantages of low-cost and emissions-free operation, the new BT 60 e delivers the same compaction power as the conventional tamper. It features 696 vpm compaction frequency, a jumping height of 70 mm and impact force of 3,372 lbf. Offering a working width of 230 mm, it compacts at speeds reaching 20 metres per minute.
