Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The MBW R60 is a gas-driven tamping rammer that concentrates impact force on a narrow shoe to compact soil one lift at a time. It works the cohesive and mixed soils found in trenches, around foundations, and in the tight spots where a plate compactor cannot reach. MBW built the R60 around three goals: more control, less operator fatigue, and easier service. It is aimed at the contractor and municipal fleets that run a rammer through daily backfill work, not the occasional patch.

A Honda GX120R engine drives the rammer's spring-and-percussion system, which rides on patented UHMW polyethylene slide bearings in place of the metal-on-metal surfaces that send rammers to the shop. Lower internal friction means less heat, less drag on the engine, and longer life from the moving parts. Steel-reinforced rubber bellows and a ductile cast iron shoe take the abuse of the trench and drive the blow straight into the soil, while a balanced layout holds hand-arm vibration down across a long shift. This is built for the sitework and utility crews that compact backfill around pipe and conduit day after day, where uptime and a tool they can control matter as much as the blow itself.

Common Applications

  • Trench and backfill compaction around pipe, conduit, and buried utilities
  • Subgrade and foundation-edge compaction in confined work areas
  • Spot compaction on patch, repair, and cut-and-fill sitework

Selection Notes

  • The R60 ships in a single configuration: item 60H12 with a Honda GX120R engine. Confirm current availability and lead time with the supplier before ordering.
  • Published lift capacity and travel speed assume clean sand at optimum moisture; MBW restricts lift depth to 12 in for granular soils and 6 to 9 in for cohesive soils. Plan compaction lifts for the soil on site.
