Vibratory compactor SQ60 PRO 2
Soil density where the big roller won't fit.
View detailsSolution by job
The right machine depends on the material and the space: cohesive soil wants impact (rammer), granular wants vibration (plate or roller), and a trench wants a machine that fits in the trench. Here's the full line so you can choose by jobsite.
Field rules
Clay (cohesive) soil = rammer. Sand or gravel (granular) = vibratory plate or roller.
Compact in 20–30 cm lifts. One thick, poorly compacted lift is settlement waiting for a date.
In trenches use a trench roller or rammer: the machine must fit and the operator must stay out of harm's way.
Full throttle before you engage vibration: vibrating at half throttle punishes the clutch and compacts less.

SIMAQ tool
Play with lift thickness and material — target density comes from thin lifts and full passes.
Recommended: 20–30 cm per lift.
85%
Target ≥ 95%
Compact in 20–30 cm lifts: any thicker and the bottom never reaches density no matter how many passes. Watch moisture (optimum is the Proctor value). And passes have diminishing returns: the first does a lot, the sixth almost nothing.
