APA ADD-ON COMPACTOR
Working on a particularly challenging compaction jobsite? It might be time for an Ammann Add-On Compactor.
This tool fits on excavators and reaches all-but-impossible locations, such as deep, narrow trenches – and extremely steep grades.
Ammann offers a broad range of add-on compactors. Operating weights range from 185 to 1065 kg, while widths vary from 30 to 88 cm. Common to all machines is the ability to deliver compaction power in difficult-to-reach areas.
What about attaching these tools? It’s a breeze, thanks to Ammann’s trouble-free quick couplers.

Quick coupling solutions
Ammann Add-On Compactors are compatible with all standard adapters on the market. The Ammann quick-coupling system allows the add-on to be connected and ready for action within seconds.
The Add-On Compactors are delivered as standard with a universal adapter plate with universal drill pattern and a hydraulic connection terminal. The connection to all common fully automatic, semi automatic or mechanical coupling systems is possible by bolting on a corresponding adapter.

Safe control from cab
Crews save time and stay safe. Operators control compaction from the comfort and safety of the excavator cabs. The Add-On Compactors get the job done in places operators shouldn’t go – including in trenches and on steep slopes.
Adjustments such as changing compaction angles and vibration are also done from the safety and comfort of the cab.
APA ADD-ON COMPACTOR
Robust machine structure
Hydraulic hoses are securely mounted above the plate or inside the machine frame for maximum protection.
The robust machine construction provides durability and prevents damage to components on even the toughest jobsites.
Base plate
All Ammann APA Add-On Compactor base plates are made from high-resistant steel to provide long life and durability, no matter how abrasive the compacted materials.

High compaction power
The reach and power of Ammann APA Add-On Compactors enable work in trenches and on the steepest of slopes. The compaction power of the APA line compacts as deep as 1 metre in a single pass - a height that would require multiple passes with a comparable handheld compactor.

Advanced exciter systems
Ammann Add-On Compactors utilise powerful exciter systems that deliver high vibration frequencies while limiting the amplitude that could damage the host machine.
- Balanced twin-shaft exciter on APA 20/30, APA 20/40, APA.55/46, APA 55/56 & APA 55/64
- Central single-shaft exciter on APA 72/74, APA 75/74 & APA 100/88
2-Stage exciter shaft
The APA 75/74 and APA 100/88 models are available in two-mode (2M) versions that allow the operator to easily change the frequency and centrifugal force.
Switching between modes makes the two large add-on compactors even more versatile and prevents damage when working on sensitive jobsites or when compacting material that covers tubes, pipes or cables.
APA ADD-ON COMPACTOR
Time saver
Trench and slope work have traditionally been a two-man job: One to operate the excavator and the other to run the compaction machine. Ammann APA Add-On Compactors allow the operator to tackle both tasks from the comfort of the operator cab. Your crew will save time on multiple fronts.
- No need to bring two machines on the jobsite and to switch between the excavator and the compaction machine.
- The quick-coupling system enables fast and easy work tool changes.
- The powerful APA Add-on Compactors achieve the compaction specifications even on cohesive and difficult-to-compact material, as well as in narrow working spaces that are difficult to access.
APA ADD-ON COMPACTOR
Minimal vibration
Side-mounted rubber buffers cushion the base plate, including the exciter unit, and limit the vibrations that reach the frame. The buffers protect both the compactor and the host machine.
Additional buffers protect the upper frame and carrier unit from the metal-to-metal contact that could otherwise result from an overpowered host machine.
