The family-owned company has enjoyed international success since 1869.
Honeycombes offers the world-leading range of AMMANN compaction equipment. This includes their range of light compaction hand-held rammers, vibratory plates, walk-behind rollers and even remote-controlled trench rollers. As well as their larger soil and asphalt compactors (up to 22 tonnes): single drum rollers, tandem rollers and pneumatic rollers.
Compaction is about reaching your goals in the fewest passes possible. Ammann soil and asphalt compactors provide efficiency through industry-leading technology and an ability to direct more force toward the target and away from the machine. This provides quality results in fewer passes and a more productive and profitable job site.
Much has changed in the 150 years of Ammann history. Technology continues to evolve and their machines deliver productivity that wasn’t even dreamed of in 1869. The company now has a global reach and expansive product line.
Product Range
Ammann Rammers
Ammann Rammers feature the best forward-movement in the industry, helping contractors in all applications work productively and ultimately achieve compaction targets. The forward-moving ability makes them the tool of choice for contractors and rental agencies. The rammers also are so easy to use that operators of all experience levels are able to perform productively. They are more comfortable, too, because of the reduced-vibration handle. That lessens fatigue and ultimately proves to be another productivity booster.
Ammann Vibratory Plates
Ammann Vibratory Plate Compactors are ready for any situation. The product line ranges from a light 54 kg to a much heavier 825 kg – with many models in between. All Ammann plates are easy to operate, making them ideal for rental fleets. They also are versatile, with an ability to easily adjust to varied applications. Many are available with diesel or petrol engines. When it comes to production, some of these machines move as quickly as soil compactors. They are high-climbers, too, with various models performing on grades as steep as 30 per cent.
Ammann Walk-Behind Rollers
Ammann Walk-Behind Rollers combine two applications in a single machine. The operator chooses whether to utilise a high-amplitude setting for work on gravel/soil or a low-amplitude setting for asphalt and bituminous materials. The walk-behind rollers are offered with two alternative diesel engine types. Both deliver great power to the machine and fulfill global emission standards worldwide.
Ammann Trench Rollers
Trench rollers, also called multipurpose compactors, perform well in cohesive soil types, such as clays, that can be very difficult to compact. The ARR 1575 and 1585 are able to overcome the high moisture content in clays through their extreme compaction energy and the kneading effect of their padfoot drums. The machines perform effectively and quickly on less challenging soils, too.
Ammann Single Drum Rollers
It’s hard to know what the next job will bring: Clay, sand or something in between? Will it require traditional compacting methods or will you have to adjust amplitude and frequency because of sensitive surroundings? Either way you will need a roller that produces. Ammann Soil Compactors provide industry-leading compaction outputs – whatever the application. Your job-site conditions might change, but you will always have a need for productivity and performance.
Ammann Tandem Rollers
What might initially appear as comfort actually translates into jobsite productivity. For example, conveniently located, intuitive controls make the operator’s job easier – and they help him be more efficient, too. Reduced vibration to the cab means less operator fatigue – and more force applied to the compaction target. The list goes on, but the story remains the same: Operator comfort is synonymous with productivity.
Ammann Pneumatic Rollers
Ammann Pneumatic Tyred Rollers provide the kneading and sealing effect that is so critical on jobsites. The tyred rollers perform on both asphalt and aggregates, which of course means the machines must be flexible. They certainly are, with air pressure adjustments made without the operator ever leaving the cab. Ballast packages easily can be added or removed to ensure the most efficient machine and process are provided.
Ammann Add-On Compactors
Working on a particularly challenging compaction jobsite? It might be time for an Ammann Add-On Compactor. The add-ons fit on excavators, which use their reach to compact in hard-to-access places such as deep, narrow trenches and particularly steep grades. They also can provide more power than most other compaction machines for such applications.
