WHICH COMPACTOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

If you’re unsure which type of compactor to rent, our experts will evaluate your needs and find the right option for you.

VIBRATORY PLATE COMPACTORS

Ideal for sidewalks, patios, and foundations, these walk-behind compactors use a steel plate mounted to the end of the machine to compact gravel, sand, and various soils into thin layers.

TRENCH ROLLERS

Easy to use and made especially for confined spaces, trench rollers are perfect for driveways, pathways, and trenches.

RAMMERS

Also known as Jumping Jacks, rammers are ideal for precise compacting in especially narrow spaces, such as foundations and trenches. They’re well-suited for removing the air pockets in cohesive soils such as clay and silt.

RIDE-ON ROLLERS

Also known as a road roller, these machines use smooth drums to distribute weight and pressure evenly across the surface, making them ideal for compacting larger areas of gravel, clay, soil, silt, asphalt, and more.
