Effective use of compactor in construction

The first step to effectively using a compactor is to choose the right model for the type of ground. The Ramirent construction machinery rental in Zamość, ul. Powiatowa 58A, offers various types of compactors – from light ones designed for work on paths and sidewalks, to heavy machines for work on foundations. It is important to match the device to the specifics of the project, which will allow for maximum efficiency while maintaining safety. At Ramirent, the smallest compactor available for rent is a single-direction compactor weighing 50-80 kg. We also have a 62-88kg petrol vibratory tamper, which is ideal for compacting soil in smaller areas and when working in more confined spaces, such as in excavations or on small plots. The heaviest is a reversible compactor weighing 650-740 kg.

Another important factor is the correct work technique. The compactor should be moved slowly, with even pressure on the ground. Working too fast can result in incomplete compaction, which leads to unevenness on the surface. It is also important not to overload the machine – regular breaks during longer work ensure both the extension of the equipment’s service life and the safety of the operator.

Regardless of the type of compactor, regular servicing is also crucial. This device operates in difficult conditions, so it is worth taking care to regularly check the condition of the oil, filters and working elements. A well-maintained compactor not only ensures better results, but also minimizes the risk of failure during work. At Ramirent, all machines are regularly serviced and subject to continuous quality control.

The effective use of a compactor in construction also depends on weather conditions. During rain, the ground can become too soft, which will prevent effective compaction. In such situations, it is recommended to stop work and resume it only after the substrate has dried properly.
