Trench Rammers

A trench rammer, also known as a tamper, is a compaction tool designed for backfilling and compacting soil in narrow areas where rollers cannot reach. They are commonly used in utility trenches, pipeline work, and foundation preparation. Their high impact force ensures soil is compacted evenly, reducing the risk of ground settlement after construction.

The petrol Bomag BT60 is a traditional choice, offering strong compaction and easy refuelling on site. The electric Bomag BT60 provides the same performance but with no exhaust emissions and reduced noise, making it ideal for indoor projects or urban areas with environmental restrictions. Contractors often choose petrol for flexibility and electric for compliance.

The Bomag BT60 is built for reliability, performance, and operator comfort. Its balanced design reduces fatigue, while the durable build ensures it can handle tough site conditions. Available in both petrol and electric options, it gives contractors the choice of conventional power or cleaner operation without compromising compaction quality.
