A Square Head Tamper Pad is a specialized attachment used with a hydraulic breaker to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, or backfill material. Instead of breaking or penetrating material, it converts the hydraulic breaker’s impact energy into vertical compaction force. The square pad design provides greater surface coverage and stability, especially on flat surfaces.It is often used in place of a separate compactor plate or walk-behind tamper, mounted directly to an excavator or skid steer via the breaker.
- Design: Square-shaped compaction plate has a flat bottom surface for uniform contact and pressure distribution. Thickened pad body is engineered to withstand repetitive vertical blows without cracking or deforming. Tool connection interface attaches to the shank or lower bushing of the hydraulic breaker and may include a locking collar or adapter to ensure stable mounting.
- Applications: The square head tamper pad is used for compaction work in various environments:
- Road Construction: Compacting sub-base and asphalt patching
- Utility Trenching: Backfilling and compacting narrow trenches
- Landscaping: Compacting soil or gravel for paving or turf
- Pipeline and Cable Laying: Compacting fill over installed conduits
- Fence and Post Installation: Compacting soil around installed poles
- Materials: Tamper pad body is made from high-strength abrasion resistant steel. It is wear resistant and designed for repeated hammering without deformation. The mounting shaft is forged alloy steel and heat-treated for impact resistance and long service life.
- Configuration:Machine Type: SB52/102/152/EC40/50, SB202/SBU220/SB302/SBU340, SB452
