Appropriate power tools influence work efficiency and can significantly speed it up. A prime example of this is a soil compactor, which creates vibrations that are transmitted to a work plate adjacent to the ground. The force of vibration compacts the substrate and ensures its hardness and durability. It is worth learning more about the types of compactors. Which one to choose?

Is it worth using a soil compactor?
When performing construction work, you need to ensure not only the selection of appropriate materials, but also the proper construction of the structure. The prepared substrate is crucial. Only hardened ones will ensure the durability of the structure. To achieve this, use a soil compactor. Thanks to this equipment, you will get rid of excess water and air from the soil. The substrate will be compacted extremely quickly and effectively. The earth compactor has a motor that produces vibrations. The force of vibration compacts the soil. Unwanted substances are precipitated from it. In this simple way, a hard and durable substrate is obtained. The work efficiency is largely due to the worktop and vibrations emitted by the electric motor. The engine is connected to the drive shaft. The central clutch transmits vibrations to the rammer foot, which is then set in motion and hits the ground at the appropriate frequency. The compactors have a slim design and are relatively light, which makes them portable and facilitates transportation. Imagine that rammers can hit the ground with such force that they reduce its thickness by up to 50 cm. At the same time, these devices are safe to use and very stable. It is worth choosing efficient devices that speed up work. Therefore, they are an essential element on every construction site.
Types of compactors
Soil compactors are reliable devices. It is worth knowing that they are available in many variants. You can choose:
- electric compactors that can only be used on dry surfaces
- combustion compactors that have high power
- manual compactors, which are the smallest and lightest models. It is guided manually in one or two directions. They are perfect for compacting soil for paving stones.
- self-sliding compactors - operate automatically. The operator only gives them the direction of work. They are most often used in large areas
- attached compactors that are used on larger surfaces. They are equipped with a large vibrating plate. They can be used on hard-to-reach surfaces such as slopes.
Remember that finding the right compactor can speed up the work, so when choosing, you should pay attention to the weight of the device, but also the compaction depth. The environment of use also needs to be taken into account. Therefore, for light work, manual compactors are used, while for more advanced tasks, e.g. self-sliding compactors are used. The engine power is also important and should not be less than 4.5 kW. The dimensions of the worktop are another element you should pay attention to. It can be said that the rule is simple, the larger the plate, the shorter the estimated operating time. Whipping efficiency also counts. For comfortable work, choose devices that do not emit much noise.
How much does an earth compactor cost?
The price of an earth compactor depends on the model you choose. It can be said that the more professional the device, the more expensive it is. You also need to take into account the engine power. A good device can be purchased for less than PLN 6,000. zloty.
