The compactor is a manual instrument that works in a vertical position. The characteristics of each equipment vary widely according to the models, but in general terms the machine weighs approximately between 65 and 80 kg, measures around 1 meter high and produces between 500 and 800 vibration or contact impacts per minute, with a impact power that fluctuates between 1 and 1.5 tonnes.

The jumping jack, however, has a smaller foot, which allows it to be used in narrow trenches.

It is mainly used for earthmoving and asphalt construction. Construction of pipes, trenches and culverts, fillings, foundations and asphalt repair work.

The compaction of the asphalt layer must create a uniform and adherent road surface and firmly intermesh the different asphalt layers permanently, in order to achieve a high level of firmness and resistance to wear, as well as long-lasting leveling . Compactors reduce void content. This makes the asphalt more resistant to loads and more durable.
