Tamping Rammer/ Monkey Jumper

A tamping rammer, also known as a jumping jack or compactor, is a machine used in construction and landscaping to compact soil, gravel, and other loose materials. The machine features a small engine that powers a piston that rapidly moves up and down, creating a compaction force that is transmitted to a foot or plate at the base of the machine. The operator uses the machine to repeatedly jump or tamp the plate onto the soil, creating a compacted surface. Tamping rammers are commonly used in areas with limited access or tight spaces, such as trenches or narrow pathways, and are effective for compacting soil and other materials in preparation for construction or landscaping projects.
