Ideal Use Cases
Here are the most common places you’ll see petrol-powered rammers used:
Trenching & Backfilling
A petrol-powered rammer is ideal for tight trenches where plate compactors can't fit. Delivering strong, targeted compaction around pipes, it's an essential for plumbers, electricians, and civil construction crews.
Roadworks & Asphalt Preparation
A petrol-powered rammer is the perfect choice where you need to compact and prepare awkward areas prior to asphalting. It’s also handy for patching asphalt repairs, especially when you’re dealing with small reinstatements.
Landscaping & Hardscaping
For landscapers, a jumping jack is ideal for prepping the ground before laying pavers, stepping stones, and other garden structures. The jumping jack compacts deeper than a standard plate, meaning that when you’re going to build bases, they stay put instead of sinking or shifting after the first big rain.
Soil Preparation
Anytime you need to tighten up loose soil, a petrol rammer is the straightforward solution. It’s especially useful on disturbed ground or fill that needs to settle before new structures are built on top.
Civil Construction
From drainage jobs to reinstatements to service installations, civil crews use rammers almost daily. They’re dependable, easy to move around, and powerful enough to handle the mixed soil conditions you find on civil jobs.
