What is jumping jack compactor
Jumping Jack Compactor, also called rammer or jumping jack tamper, which is a machine used for compacting ground. It applies consecutive impacts on the ground to level the uneven surface, thus increasing the dry density of the soil. The compaction process removes air and water from the soil.
While most compactors use vibration, a jumping jack compactor uses the impact force to compress the soil. The foot of the machine lifts from the ground and slams back down which results in deeper compaction depths.
Jumping Jack Compactors can be used for various soil types but are ideal for cohesive soil compaction with a 13% moisture range. Their cramped size makes them perfect to use in hard-to-reach places like trenches and ditches. With the latest design features, jumping jack compactors can easily be navigated by a single operator without any difficulties.
