Intended Use
These compactors are designed to compact loose or granular soils, gravel, paving stones and asphalt.
They are powerful compacting tools capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high
frequency vibrations to a soil surface. Its applications include compacting for road, embankments and
reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.
Both compactors are intended to be used in confined areas or areas next to structures such as walls,
curbs, and foundations. They are not recommended for compacting cohesive soils with a heavy clay
content. For cohesive soil, use a vibratory rammer or sheeps-foot roller.
One of the compactors includes a built-in water tank and sprinkler set so it can provide water to a
work site with dust or cool properly on hot asphalt. Too much watering however makes either
compactor move forward slowly.
Power Source. The compactors are powered by a gasoline engine.
Supplies Required. Normal operation will require you to supply:
 Gasoline
