Rammer
Product Code : LSK-WT-10539
Rammer (SKU LSK-WT-10539), also called a tamping rammer, is an engine-driven compactor whose 25 x 33 cm shoe strikes the ground repeatedly to compact soil and fill in trenches, footings and other confined areas. Construction and civil engineering trade workshops use it to train site operatives in ITI, polytechnic and TVET programmes. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to training institutes, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The rammer has a high-impact poly shoe with a steel-reinforced base plate measuring 10 x 13 inches and travels at up to 70 ft/min. Heavy-duty rubber shock mounts cut the vibration reaching the operator, and a wrap-around handle with side shields protects the engine on site.

Applications and Experiments for the Rammer
In training, the rammer is used to show how loose soil and backfill are compacted in layers before foundations, paving or pipe bedding. Its narrow shoe reaches trench bottoms and edges where a plate compactor or roller cannot work, so trainees learn to choose the right compactor for the job.
- ITI and TVET construction trades: trench backfill and foundation compaction practice.
- Diploma and B.Tech civil engineering workshops: site compaction methods.
- Road and pavement construction modules: compacting sub-base layers in small areas.
- Plant operation short courses: pre-start checks, fuelling and safe handling.
This is a fuel-powered machine. Refuel only with the engine stopped and cool, run it outdoors or in well-ventilated areas, and have trainees wear hearing protection and safety footwear under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Rammer is supplied as a single unit as described above, with its engine, shoe and base plate, see-through fuel tank, shock mounts and protective handle. Fuel and oil are not supplied; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one rammer or a group of site machines for a construction workshop. The quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and other vocational training equipment can be added to it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and the UAE. Enquire via the contact page or enquiry cart; see also the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rammer used for?
A rammer compacts soil and backfill, especially in trenches, around foundations and in other narrow spaces where larger compaction equipment cannot reach.
What size is the base plate?
The shoe plate is 10 x 13 inches (25 x 33 cm), with a high-impact poly shoe on a steel-reinforced base plate.
Who supplies the Rammer?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to ITI and TVET institutes, engineering colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
How is operator fatigue reduced?
Heavy-duty rubber shock mounts cushion the vibration reaching the handle, and the wrap-around handle gives a secure grip while guiding the machine.
