Vibratory plate compactor hire

Using vibrations to coax the soil into a condensed pile, Coates’ range of vibratory plate compactors are a popular choice for completing a wide variety of soil-levelling tasks around the jobsite.

Rammer compactor hire

Whereas a plate compactor uses a vibratory effect to condense the soil, a rammer compactor flattens the ground using force. These machines are very effective at compacting the ground at your jobsite, regardless of whether you choose a diesel, electric or 4-stroke petrol rammer compactor.

Use cases of plate compactors & rammers

Plate compactors can be used for flattening soil and providing a strong foundation for a variety of projects, including:

  • Road construction: Plate compactors help create a stable base for the asphalt to be laid, preventing future settling of the soil that may affect the integrity of the road’s surface.

  • Landscaping: Landscapers can use a compactor to turn loose gravel into a solid surface for driveways or paths.

  • Building foundations: Plate and ramming compactors can be used to compact the soil beneath the foundations of a building, providing a solid base on which the slab can be laid.

  • Paving: Before laying pavers in residential settings, a plate compactor can be used to solidify the soil, reducing the chance of the pavers uplifting and becoming a trip hazard.

  • Pipeline projects: In mining projects and other industrial solutions, a rammer compactor can be used to backfill material in trenches to prevent foundational instabilities around pipes or cables.
