The international iF Product Design Award 2015 goes to the Atlas Copco LT 6005 Rammer series. For over 60 years, the iF Design Award has been recognized all over the world as a label of design excellence, identifying outstanding achievements in design.
”Thorough research and a tight cooperation between R&D and our Industrial Design Team has been success factors in the development of the new LT Rammers,” says Fredrik Hägglund, Manager Technical Development Light Compaction Equipment. ”With a strong user focus, we managed to increase the balance of the machine, making it extremely easy to handle.”

The new Atlas Copco LT Rammers are designed for compaction work in confined areas. The product is a result of research and customer input. One of the major improvements is the slimmer design that facilitates handling. For example the visibility is considerably enhanced. In order to get full visibility of the foot, the operator needs to lean 50 % less to the side. The user grip area is increased by 300% for better control. Improved safety, reduced weight, high compaction efficiency and ergonomics are other user-friendly features that the jury found appealing.

”Easy service is a high priority for our customers. With the new design we have managed to meet those high expectations.And even though receiving the iF Product Design Award was an honour, the real joy lays in the knowledge that we can offer our customers a great product” concludes Fredrik Hägglund.
