JUMPING COMPACTOR
A JUMPING JACK COMPACTOR ALSO CALLED A RAMMER OR JUMPING JACK TAMPER, IS A MACHINE USED FOR COMPACTING GROUND. IT APPLIES CONSECUTIVE
IMPACTS ON THE GROUND TO LEVEL THE UNEVEN SURFACE, THUS INCREASING THE DRY DENSITY OF THE SOIL. THE COMPACTION PROCESS REMOVES AIR AND
WATER FROM THE SOIL. A JUMPING JACK IS A TYPE OF MANUAL COMPACTOR THAT USES MANUALLY OPERATED LEVERS TO GENERATE STATIC FORCE TO COMPACT
GRANULAR AND COHESIVE SOILS. THEY ARE GENERALLY EASIER TO MANEUVER, AS THEY ARE LIGHTWEIGHT COMPARED TO PLATE COMPACTORS, AND CAN BE
TRANSPORTED OR MOVED BY HAND WITH RELATIVE EASE. THE JUMPING ACTION OF THESE UNITS HELPS ACHIEVE HIGHER COMPACTION DUE TO THE INCREASED
FORCE APPLIED TO THE SOIL.
