What is compaction equipment used for?

Compactors are used to increase the density of soil or other materials like asphalt by removing air voids. This creates a stable, solid, and level base, which is crucial for preventing a structure, sidewalk, or roadway from settling or cracking over time.

What is the difference between a plate compactor and a rammer?

Plate Compactors use vibration to compact granular soils like sand or gravel. They are ideal for creating a base for patios or driveways. Rammers (or Jumping Jacks) deliver high-impact force in a smaller footprint, making them better for cohesive soils like clay and for compacting trenches.

When do I need a ride-on roller?

A ride-on roller is needed for large-scale compaction jobs, such as creating a sub-base for a road, parking lot, or large building foundation. They are also essential for compacting fresh asphalt during paving.

What is a smooth drum vs. a padfoot roller?

Smooth Drum Rollers are used for compacting granular materials (sand, gravel) and for finishing asphalt. Padfoot (or Sheepsfoot) Rollers have protrusions ('feet') on the drum that knead and compact cohesive soils like clay and silt more effectively.

Do I need to add water when compacting?

It depends on the material. For many soil types, adding a specific amount of water (achieving 'optimum moisture content') helps lubricate the particles, allowing them to be packed together more tightly. This is a key principle in soil mechanics.
