What is the right compactor for my project?
Construction compactors are essential tools for solidifying soil, gravel, and asphalt on construction sites. They come in two main types: static and vibratory. Static compactors use their weight to press down on the ground, while vibratory models create vibrations that achieve higher compaction density. They are available in various sizes and with different attachments to suit various needs. From small rammer compactors for confined spaces to large tandem vibratory rollers for extensive paving projects, construction compactors ensure a stable and solid foundation for any structure, helping engineers and builders ensure the stability and longevity of infrastructure projects.
On rentmas, you’ll find the compactor solution for every project. Whether you need a maneuverable plate compactor for tight spaces like trenches or around obstacles, a jumping jack tamper for precision work in foundations, or a powerful tandem vibratory roller for large-scale asphalt paving, all it takes is a few minutes to send a request for the machine you need.
Plate compactors
- Some typical applications: trench backfilling and compaction, landscape applications, and asphalt patching and repairs
- Ideal areas of use: construction sites, road construction and maintenance sites, landscaping settings, and driveways and sidewalks
- What's unique: high maneuverability due to small footprint and walk-behind design, portability, versatility for small projects
- Not suitable for: large-scale projects, very deep trenches, highly cohesive soils
Roller
- Some typical applications: subgrade compaction, small-scale asphalt paving projects, shoulder work and road maintenance, and slope compaction
- Ideal areas of use: construction sites, road construction and maintenance sites, landscaping settings, and minor earthwork project sites
- What’s unique: a compromise of balance and power between plate compactors and tandem rollers, different drum options, and versatility across more types of project sites than other compactors due to its size and compaction power
- Not suitable for: very confined spaces, high-production compaction, very thick layers
Tandem vibratory rollers
- Some typical applications: asphalt compaction, sub-base preparation, embankment compaction, large-scale aggregate compaction, large concrete paving projects
- Ideal areas of use: commercial and industrial project sites, airport runways, highway construction sites, high-traffic parking lots and bus lanes
- What’s unique: high compaction capacity, uniform compaction, high production rate
- Not suitable for: confined spaces and navigating around obstacles, small projects or patching, highly cohesive soils (depending on the severity of cohesion)

Jumping jacks / Rammers
- Some typical applications: trench compaction (especially deep trenches), foundations and backfilling around structures, pipe bedding compaction, and compaction in confined spaces around utilities
- Ideal areas of use: trenches (especially deep trenches), foundations and around structures, pipe beds, manholes, and limited access areas
- What’s unique: precise compaction force, lightweight design, accessibility in confined spaces
- Not suitable for: large areas, deep compaction, high-production environments
How do I rent a container?
Renting a compactor on rentmas is done in a few simple steps. Select the type of compactor you want to rent, along with the location and dates you will need it for. Your search will give back a list of machines in order of shortest distance from the location you selected. If you have certain machine specs you’re looking for, you can use the platform’s filters to narrow down your search.
Once you’ve found the right compactor, you can finalize your request by providing your billing and project site details. Add more machines to your request, or send your request with a single machine.
Our rental partner will then confirm availability of your requested machine(s). As soon as they approve the rental, you’ll receive an invoice from us and can pay the rental fee using your preferred method: bank transfer, credit card, Stripe, or SEPA Direct Debit.
Important considerations and safety requirements
- Training: Every operator should go through the appropriate training for use of the compactor they intend to operate, as well as complete any required certifications
- Maintenance: Consider environmental conditions such as weather, ground conditions and size of any interior spaces
- Working environment: Consider environmental conditions such as weather, ground conditions and size of any interior spaces
- Safety equipment: Always wear the prescribed protective equipment, including helmet and safety harness.
- Load limits: Observe the specified load limits for each compactor
Choosing the right compactor depends on the requirements of your project. If you have any questions or uncertainties, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to provide you with the knowledge you need to match the right compactor to your project’s needs.
