Rammer users can now improve productivity and reliability by accessing real-time monitoring of rockbreaker use.

Smart monitoring for smart rockbreaking

Rammer has launched RD Guard, a remote monitoring device for hydraulic rockbreakers used in mining, quarrying, and heavy equipment work.

When installed on a Rammer tool, RD Guard continuously collects and transmits operational data.

The successor to Rammer's legacy RD3 device, the tool offers improved protection, greater accessibility, and enhanced reporting through the company's cloud-based digital assistant and data portal, the SAM platform.

Engineered to withstand the harshest mining and quarrying environments, RD Guard features a heavy-duty yet slim protective housing and is linked to each rockbreaker's serial number.

Once fitted to a Rammer rockbreaker, RD Guard automatically tracks work hours, impact periods, service intervals, GPS location, and more.

Data is transferred to SAM via 5G, allowing operators and site managers to access fleet information anytime, anywhere, through mobile or desktop devices.
