TAMPING RAMMERS

Compaction is the process of using vibration to remove air from the base material. This improves the density of the base, which gives your project a solid foundation. Ground Compaction is an essential part of many construction and concrete projects. Without proper base compaction, ground shifting can happen which can lead to massive issues down the road. Compaction Equipment will help you avoid these issues.

There are two main types of compaction equipment that are used on job sites – Plate Compactors & Tamping Rammers (Jumping Jacks). For more info on the difference between these and when to use which type, head over to our blog – Rammer Vs. Compactor

A Tamping Rammer or Jumping Jack as it is often referred to, is a piece of Compaction equipment that is used for compacting cohesive materials. A cohesive material is something that generally contains high clay content. This type of base material does not crumble when compacted which is why a Tamping Rammer is the correct choice for this application.

Tamping Rammers come in different sizes to help achieve deeper compaction and increase production time. Most applications can be accomplished effectively with the BT1400.Â
