Compaction equipment ensures a stable base for pavers, concrete, and asphalt. We stock plate compactors, jumping jack tampers, and related gear so you can compact soil, gravel, and base material the right way.
Plate compactors
Ideal for driveways, patios, and base prep. They use vibration to densify granular materials. Choose by plate size and centrifugal force—heavier units compact deeper and faster.
Jumping jack tampers
Also called rammers or trench compactors. They use impact to compact cohesive soils and backfill. The right choice for trenches, around footings, and confined areas where a plate won't fit.
How to choose
For large, flat, granular areas (gravel, sand, base rock), use a plate compactor. For trenches and cohesive soil, use a jumping jack. For pavers, a plate compactor or a dedicated paver roller may be appropriate depending on the project.
