    Trench Rammers For Compacting Earth And Preparing For Construction

    A tamping rammer is used to compact soil or other material in order to create a flat base. Often associated with roadside repair, the device may also be known as a trench rammer, because the foot and the column fit neatly into a trench, but the device can realistically be used in any application when compacting is required.

    Compactor Mechanics

    A tamping rammer compactor is comprised of a motor, typically fuel driven, which drives a column up and down, pushing the foot up and down with considerable force. The resulting impact, and the use of the square base of the foot make it relatively easy to compact materials ranging from soil to rubble, and including sand and other possible base materials. The fast pounding action of the foot has earned the machine the name of a vibratory rammer, but all of these devices are one and the same, and all perform the same function.

    Post Rammers for Sale

    A post rammer uses similar mechanical technology to perform its task, but the foot is usually encased by a solid metal cylinder, which can be placed over the top of the post. The rammer foot is kept in position, enabling it to hammer the post down. There are different designs and different dimensions of post rammers for sale; some with very specific dimensions, and you should ensure that you buy the most appropriate tool.

    Filling Holes With a Sand Rammer

    A backfill rammer can be used to fill in deep holes, but this should be done in layers. Each layer is poured into the hole before being compacted with a compaction rammer. The next layer is then added, and the process repeated until the hole is filled. Adding too deep a layer means that the soil rammer, or sand rammer, may not be able to compact to the very bottom, and the earth will remain looser than required.
