Multiquip's "Soil Compaction Handbook"
Is an essential tool for anyone wanting to learn about soil compaction or
needing to review compaction basics.
Soil density and methods to achieve proper compaction are discussed.
The below chart is compiled from the handbook:

- Rammers are also referred to as "Jumping Jacks" and "Tampers"
- Forward Plate Compactors are also referred to as "Vibratory Plate Compactors"

Deliver a high impact force (high amplitude) making them an
excellent choice for cohesive and semi-cohesive soils. Frequency
range is 500 to 750 blows per minute. Rammers get compaction
force from a small gas or diesel engine powering a large piston
set with two sets of springs. The rammer is inclined at a forward
angel to allow forward travel as the machine jumps.

These compactors are recognized as the industry standard for
top performance, easy handling, low maintenance and long life.
Perfect for use on granular soils and asphalt. Gas or diesel
engines drive one or two eccentric weights at a high speed to
develop compaction force. The resulting vibrations cause
forward motion. The engine and handle are vibration-isolated
from the vibrating plate. Frequency range is usaually from 2500
vpm to 6000 vpm.

In addition to some of the standard vibratory plate features,
reversible plates have two eccentric weights that allow smooth
transition for forward or reverse travel, plus increased
compaction force as the result of dual weights. Due to their
weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for semi-cohesive
soils. A reversible plate is possibly the best compaction buy
"dollar for dollar." Unlike standard plates, the reversible's forward
travel may be stopped and the machine will maintain its force for
"spot' compaction.
