NorthStar Tamping Rammer Plate Compactor w/ 5.5 HP Honda GX160 Engine
The NorthStar Tamping Rammer Plate Compactor is a heavy-duty soil compaction machine designed for trench work, foundations, utility installations, and confined job site applications. Powered by the reliable Honda GX160 5.5 HP OHV engine, this unit delivers strong, consistent impact force for compacting cohesive and semi-cohesive soils such as clay, silt, and backfill materials.
Engineered for professional contractors and construction crews, this tamping rammer provides deep compaction performance where plate compactors cannot operate effectively. Its high-impact “jumping jack” action ensures maximum soil density in narrow trenches, around pipes, and in tight working areas.
Built with a reinforced frame, heavy-duty bellows system, and vibration-isolated handle design, this machine is designed for durability, operator comfort, and long service life in demanding construction environments.
