Following on from the relaunch of Sandvik’s Rammer-branded products in May 2012 Roland Wild, of German transport and construction company Max Wild GmbH, marked the occasion by investing in the first Rammer hydraulic hammer to be sold in Germany. The Rammer 4099 was immediately put to effective use by the Berkheim-based firm in Wangen, the Allgäu, in southern Germany, where the former BEL-Adler quarter was being rebuilt.

Following on from the relaunch of 325 Sandvik’s 5076 Rammer-branded products in May 2012 Roland Wild, of German transport and construction company Max Wild GmbH, marked the occasion by investing in the first Rammer hydraulic hammer to be sold in Germany.

The Rammer 4099 was immediately put to effective use by the Berkheim-based firm in Wangen, the Allgäu, in southern Germany, where the former BEL-Adler quarter was being rebuilt. The project was said by Sandvik to prove an interesting challenge for the Max Wild GmbH team due to the site's hillside location; this meant that the team had to contend with vast differences in height, interlinked construction methods, and the extremely tight project deadlines. Thanks to what Sandvik says is the enormous power of the Rammer 4099, combined with what is said to be its smooth and quiet operation, Max Wild construction foreman Andreas Haag and his team were able to keep to the tight project schedule.

An extremely high degree of hydraulic efficiency and maximum safety is said by Sandvik to have been inbuilt into the Rammer 4099’s design. Like all large-range new generation Rammer hydraulic hammers, the Rammer 4099 is fitted with the VIDAT tie rod system and the new RAMDATA II service interval display. The RAMLUBE II lubrication system is integrated with two independent grease pumps as standard; all these features help provide Max Wild with a high impact energy hammer combined with a long service life.

Max Wild GmbH’s partnership with Sandvik’s breaker operation, and relationship with the Rammer brand stretching back over 20 years, is said to be based on mutual respect and professionalism. To provide additional reassurance, Sandvik is said to give Max Wild long-term, highly competent, dedicated aftermarket advice and service for its Rammer-branded products. "Max Wild, whose father of the same name founded Max Wild GmbH in the 1950s, said: “This reliability continues in every aspect of our relationship.”
