Honda showcases GXR120 Rammer engine at World of Concrete

At its World of Concrete booth, Honda Power Equipment is showcasing its GXR120 Rammer engine, which is designed for heavy-duty rammer applications.

The GXR120 has a displacement of 121 cc and can power 110- to 175-pound rammers at various altitudes.

Designed for durability, the engine features a cast-iron cylinder sleeve; high carbon-steel, dual-ball bearing crankshaft; recoil starter; and fan cove.

The GXR120, which has a compact and lightweight engine footprint, uses an overhead camshaft (OHC) and has a maintenance-free, low-noise timing belt.

The compact muffler — 22 mm narrower than the muffler on the GX120’s predecessor, the GX100 — combined with the OHC layout delivers a 1-decibel reduction in operation noise over the previous model.

Other features include a lubrication system with a dual-breather chamber, a heavy-duty recoil starter and automatic decompression system for easy engine starting and an oil alert feature that prevents the engine from starting if the oil level is too low.
