A soil compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste material or biomass through compaction. For the improvement of soil properties, e.g., density, water content or gradation, compaction is necessary in the construction of embankment, road, sub-grades, earth dams, etc

Rammers are helpful for flooring, road and pavement repair projects, construction trenches and foundations, and any other job that requires flattening earth or soil. Rammers feature diesel or electric engines that create a vibration, enabling a plate to compact the soil.
