From Rollers to Rammers, Let’s Find the Right Tools for Solid Groundwork

Compaction is essential to creating a stable base on construction and landscaping jobsites. At Compact Equipment, we cover the full range of light and heavy compaction tools designed for different applications. Twin-drum vibratory rollers are a go-to choice for asphalt paving, delivering smooth, even finishes on roads, paths and parking lots. Trench rollers excel in confined spaces, tackling backfill work and pipeline installations with efficiency. For tighter spots and smaller projects, rammers provide deep impact force to compact cohesive soils, while plate compactors are ideal for granular materials like gravel and sand.

Our compaction coverage spans new product launches, technology trends, maintenance tips and buying guides, giving contractors the insights they need to choose the right tool for the job. Whether you’re paving a roadway, backfilling a trench or prepping a foundation, Compact Equipment highlights the machines that deliver efficiency, productivity and long-lasting ground stability. Some examples of compact compaction equipment include:
