BUILT FOR THE TIGHT SPOTS

Compact where a wide plate will not fit.

The narrow shoe concentrates impact into trenches, around footings and along service runs. It is a practical choice for soil backfill and confined access on Australian construction and landscaping jobs.

Trenches and service runs

Work through narrow backfill after drainage, plumbing or utility installation.

Footings and foundations

Compact soil in tighter areas around edge beams, posts and foundation preparation.

Landscaping and site prep

Handle small excavation areas, retaining-wall backfill and other jobs that need focused tamping.

DESIGNED FOR SITE WORK

Strong impact, manageable footprint.

Focused compaction

Up to 20kN force through a 300 × 280mm shoe for cohesive and mixed soils.

Steady movement

Specified walking speed of 9–12m/min and 45–75mm jump height, depending on working conditions.

Move between jobs

Removable transport wheels help reposition the rammer around a site or onto a trailer.

Working conditions matter: Soil type, moisture, lift thickness and operator technique affect compaction results. Follow the operating manual and site specifications for each job.
