A pneumatic rammer is a construction tool used for compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt. It operates using compressed air to drive a heavy rammer head up and down, which effectively compresses the material beneath it. This process is essential for creating a stable base for roads, foundations, and other structures. Pneumatic rammers are often used in tight spaces where larger equipment cannot fit. They are favored for their efficiency and ability to achieve high compaction levels quickly. Operators must wear safety gear, as the tool can produce significant vibrations and noise during operation.
