Rammers
Buy Rammers
Rammers, also known as Rammer Compactors or jumping jacks, are the go-to buy choice for trench compaction, cohesive soil, and backfill work in confined spaces where a plate or roller can’t effectively reach. Their high-impact ramming action makes them particularly effective on clay and mixed cohesive materials. Wenbro’s Rammers are sourced from proven manufacturers and maintained in-house for reliable, consistent performance on site. If your project also involves open-surface preparation, pair them with our Plate Compactors or Pedestrian Rollers for a complete compaction solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a Rammer instead of a Plate Compactor?
Rammers are best suited for cohesive soils like clay and for confined or narrow areas such as trenches and foundations. Plate Compactors are more efficient on granular materials and open, flat surfaces like paths and driveways.
What soil types are Rammers most effective on?
Rammers perform best on cohesive soils, including clay, silty soil, and mixed fills, where high-impact compaction is needed to achieve the required density. For granular or gravel-based material, a vibratory Plate Compactor or roller is typically more effective.
What engine options are available on Rammers?
Most Rammers run on petrol engines, though diesel and electric options are available in some models for specific site requirements. Contact the Wenbro team on 087 073 7777 to discuss which spec suits your working conditions.
Can Rammers be used for road sub-base compaction?
Rammers can compact localised areas of road sub-base, particularly around utility cuts or trench reinstatements. For wider road sub-base work, Ride-On Rollers or Pedestrian Rollers are more practical and efficient.
Do Wenbro’s Rammers come serviced and ready to use?
Yes, all Rammers sold through Wenbro are checked and serviced by our in-house team before sale. Ongoing maintenance and spare parts support is also available. Call 087 073 7777 for details.
