Designed for Railway Maintenance and Ballast Tamping
The Wacker Neuson BH55rw petrol hammer is specifically designed for track construction and railway maintenance. Its rw designation refers to railway use, reflecting a percussion system selected for the particular requirements of working with track ballast. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BH55rw 28×160 to customers across Cornwall and Devon looking for specialist Wacker Neuson equipment with defined performance characteristics.
During railway maintenance, ballast needs to be worked and compacted without unnecessary damage to the material. The manufacturer explains that this requires a combination of comparatively gentle impact force and an appropriate percussion rate. The BH55rw addresses that requirement with 55 joules of single stroke energy and 1,350 blows per minute, bringing together the two characteristics identified for this specialist tamping application.
For buyers, the benefit is a machine developed around a defined task rather than a general claim of maximum impact power. Its specification helps railway contractors compare equipment against their working methods and project requirements. Appropriate tooling and suitability for the intended work should be confirmed before use. Speak to Farm and Fleet Services about the Wacker Neuson BH55rw petrol breaker, including tool holder dimensions, supplied accessories and availability for railway maintenance equipment enquiries across the South West.
55 J Impact Energy and a Sturdy Percussion System
With 55 joules of single stroke impact energy and a percussion rate of 1,350 blows per minute, the Wacker Neuson BH55rw delivers a defined balance of force and repeated impact. These figures are central to its railway application, where ballast tamping requires suitable energy and frequency. Farm and Fleet Services sells this Wacker Neuson petrol breaker across Cornwall and Devon for customers assessing specialist maintenance equipment.
The manufacturer highlights high single stroke impact energy relative to the machine’s weight, together with a powerful, sturdy percussion system. This combination provides a practical basis for comparing the BH55rw with other petrol hammers. Buyers can consider impact energy alongside weight, handling and the tool required, rather than choosing equipment using engine power or blow rate as the only deciding factor.
The listed effective engine power is 1.6 kW, with a nominal engine speed of 4,500 rpm. Engine speed and percussion rate describe different parts of operation and should be compared separately. Our team can discuss these specifications and the supplied beavertail, chisel and point ends. Contact Farm and Fleet Services about buying a Wacker Neuson BH55rw 28×160 petrol hammer for suitable railway maintenance and percussion tasks throughout Cornwall, Devon and the South West.
Petrol Power for Work Away from Mains Electricity
Petrol power allows the Wacker Neuson BH55rw to operate without a mains electricity connection, supporting work where a power supply is unavailable. For railway maintenance and other suitable specialist tasks, this provides flexibility when planning equipment use across a site. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BH55rw petrol breaker to customers across Cornwall and Devon, with advice on specifications and the supplied package.
The manufacturer lists the machine’s weight at 25.2 kg. Its dimensions without a tool are 898 mm long, 492 mm wide and 346 mm deep. These measurements help buyers assess storage, handling and transport requirements before purchase. The fitted end adds to the working arrangement, so the complete equipment setup should be considered when planning access and movement between different locations.
The practical benefit is a self-contained petrol hammer whose size and weight can be assessed against the intended workload. Suitable handling arrangements and fuel provision remain part of planning the job. Our package includes a beavertail end, chisel end and point end, providing three supplied tooling options. Speak to Farm and Fleet Services about purchasing the Wacker Neuson BH55rw 28×160 petrol breaker, including application suitability, availability and equipment requirements for projects across the South West region.
Balanced Handle, Spring-Mounted Hood and Planned Maintenance
The Wacker Neuson BH55rw petrol breaker features a stable, well-balanced handle, identified by the manufacturer as one of its design highlights. Handle balance matters when positioning a percussion tool and maintaining control during suitable maintenance work. Farm and Fleet Services sells the BH55rw across Cornwall and Devon for customers seeking Wacker Neuson railway equipment with handling features that complement its specialist impact performance.
A spring mounted hood forms another part of the machine’s construction. Together with the balanced handle and sturdy percussion system, this is a feature buyers can consider when reviewing the overall design. The supplied specification sheet does not give a hand-arm vibration figure, so no numerical exposure comparison can be made from this document. Operating instructions remain the reference for correct handling and use.
The manufacturer specifies a lubrication interval of 40 hours, providing a maintenance reference for planning equipment care. Follow the operating instructions for the correct lubricant, procedure and any additional servicing requirements. The benefit is having identifiable handling features alongside a stated lubrication schedule.

Supplied with Beavertail, Chisel and Point Ends
Our Wacker Neuson BH55rw package comes with three working ends: a beavertail, a chisel and a point. This gives buyers an understanding of the tooling included when purchasing from Farm and Fleet Services. We sell the BH55rw 28×160 petrol breaker across Cornwall and Devon and can discuss the supplied ends alongside the machine’s specialist railway specification and intended applications.
Each shape presents a different working profile. A point concentrates contact into a small area, a chisel provides a cutting edge, and a beavertail offers a broader working face. The appropriate choice depends on the material and task, so these profiles should be assessed against the operating instructions. Having three ends supplied gives customers options when preparing equipment for suitable work.
The machine’s tool holder is specified as Hex 28×160, an important reference when checking replacement tooling. Confirm that each end is suitable for the holder and intended application before fitting or use. For railway ballast tamping, suitable railway tooling and approved working methods remain essential. Speak to Farm and Fleet Services about purchasing the Wacker Neuson BH55rw petrol hammer, including the beavertail end, chisel end and point end supplied, availability and product guidance across Cornwall, Devon and the South West.
BH55 Tools/ Attachments
Beavertail Attachment
The beavertail attachment gives the Wacker Neuson BH55 petrol breaker a broad working face, spreading contact across a wider area than a point attachment. This makes it an option for suitable material removal and surface breaking tasks where broader contact is required. Supplied by Farm and Fleet Services, the beavertail end adds flexibility to your equipment package for customers across Cornwall and Devon.
The Chisel Attachment
The chisel attachment provides a cutting edge for controlled breaking and material separation. Its shape allows the operator to work along a chosen line, making it useful when tackling suitable surfaces or removing sections of material. Choosing the correct chisel position and working method helps direct the breaker’s impact towards the intended area. Always match the attachment to the material and application.
Point Attachment
The point attachment concentrates the breaker’s impact into a smaller contact area, helping initiate breaks in suitable hard materials. It offers a different approach from the broader beavertail and edged chisel, giving you three tool profiles for different tasks. Farm and Fleet Services supplies the Wacker Neuson BH55 with these attachments. Contact our Launceston or South Hams team for advice on tool compatibility, replacement breaker attachments and availability across Cornwall, Devon and the South West.
