What is a Trench Rammer or Trench Compactor?
A Trench Rammer, also known as a Jumping Jack, is a piece of construction equipment that is used to compact cohesive soils and other granular soils. It’s designed to be particularly effective in narrow and confined spaces, where larger compaction equipment can’t fit or operate effectively.
How does a Trench Rammer work?
Here’s how a Trench Rammer works: it has a compacting plate or foot that moves up and down very quickly, powered by an internal engine. The force of the downward motion of the plate compacts the soil or material beneath it, increasing its density.
What kind of jobs is a Trench Compactor good for?
A Trench Compactor is versatile and can be used for a variety of jobs like trenches, around utility lines, landscaping projects and small scale landscaping jobs. It’s ideal for tight spaces and confined areas, allowing for effective compaction of cohesive soils.
