Stapler (Kangaroo)

The „Kangaroo“ compactor, also known as a vibratory rammer, is a specialised construction machine that differs from a standard vibrating plate in its operating principle and purpose. Its main feature is a vertical, high-amplitude striking force, concentrated on a small foot. This „bouncing“ motion ensures the energy is transmitted deep into the ground, making it indispensable for specific types of work.

„Kangaroo“ is ideal for cohesive soils such as clay and silty clay. for compacting soils such as clay and silty soils. Standard vibration is ineffective in such soils, whereas the Kangaroo's powerful impacts successfully expel air and water from the cohesive particles. Also, due to its compact and vertical design, it is the ideal solution for working in confined spaces — such as trenches, around foundations, and around utility pipes.

Description

Advantages:
Efficiency in cohesive soils: „The striking force of the “Kangaroo' ensures high-quality consolidation of clay and other difficult-to-compact soils, where a vibratory plate is less effective.

Ideal for narrow spaces: Its small footprint and vertical construction allow you to work in trenches, along retaining walls and in other hard-to-reach places.

Deep tamping: Thanks to its concentrated impact, it can compact thicker layers of soil than a vibroplate of a similar weight.

manoeuvring: The machine is simple to operate and the operator can easily change its direction of movement within a confined space.

Foundation protection: Properly compacting the foundation's backfill with a „Kangaroo“ is a guarantee that the ground will not settle over time and damage the building's waterproofing and structure.

Practical tips and safety:
Select the right machine: This is the main rule. A „Kangaroo“ for clay and trenches. A vibrating plate for sand and gravel in open areas. Incorrectly selected equipment will result in poor quality work.

Safe handling and balance: When working, hold both handles firmly and maintain your balance. Do not try to force the machine; simply guide its movement.

Principle of working in layers: For the best results, work in layers. Gradually compact layers of soil 20-30 cm thick.

Ventilation in the trench: As the equipment is often used in deep, confined spaces, ensure there is sufficient air circulation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Do not stamp on a hard surface: Do not use the „Kangaroo“ on asphalt, concrete or other hard surfaces. It is designed for loose ground only.
