Ground compactors are used to remove voids from soil or other materials in construction settings. There are different types, including jack-jack, plate, and trench compactors. Each has a specific purpose and requires experienced users. Jumping jacks are for small areas, while plate compactors are for larger spaces. Trench compactors are used inside and above newly created trenches and can be operated remotely.
A ground compactor is a device used to compact soil or other materials, thereby removing voids or voids from that material. Such fixtures are usually used in construction settings to create a flat, stable surface upon which other materials can be placed and supported. There are different types of models of ground compactors, the most common of which are jack-jack compactors, plate compactors and trench compactors. Each device has a specific purpose and is appropriate for different settings that cannot be managed by the others. Compactors can be dangerous to operate, so only experienced users should operate the devices.
A jump jack ground compactor is a motorized device that can look somewhat similar to a jackhammer, except that no cutting bit is used. Instead, a flat plate is attached to the bottom of the machine and a hydraulic ram will move the plate up and down rapidly. When the plate contacts soil or other material, that material will be compacted downwards. This type of walk-behind compactor can be difficult to control, so the user will need to be in good physical shape to operate it safely. A jumping jack is more appropriate for compacting small areas of material.
For larger spaces, a plate compactor may be the more appropriate choice. This machine is sometimes known as a vibratory plate compactor because the large, wide plate will vibrate rapidly to compact the materials. The plate is much larger than the plate on a jack, meaning one operator can compact more material at once. Medium sized jobs often require the use of a vibratory plate compactor. The user will walk behind the machine as the vibratory plate pushes it forward, and just like the jump jack, this machine will require the user to be in good physical condition to control the machine properly and safely.
A trench compactor is used to compact soil or materials both inside and above a newly created trench. The body of this ground compactor will be narrow enough and can be operated by a remote control so that the user does not necessarily have to enter the trench together with the compactor. In this case steel wheels are used to compact the soil and once the trench has been backfilled the compactor can be used to compact the soil above the trench.
