The PC3000 compacts cohesive and mixed soils in trenches, footings, and around structures, the confined lifts where a plate compactor cannot follow and a rammer earns its place on the truck. It runs the general compaction work that backfilled utility cuts and foundation edges generate every week.

The GX120 engine is the working difference U.S. Saws points to: more engine than the usual rammer in this class, driving a 2.8 inch stroke through an 11 by 12 inch shoe at 3,080 pounds of force. A diaphragm carburetor keeps it running at the angles rammer work involves, dual air filtration keeps trench dust out of the engine, an integrated fuel valve simplifies starting, and the throttle control is built heavy because throttles are what break on rammers. The handle adjusts to the operator. This is for the utility and concrete contractors compacting backfill lifts all day, in holes their plate compactor cannot enter.

Common Applications

  • Compacting trench backfill on utility cuts
  • Compaction in footings and around foundations
  • Cohesive soil compaction in confined excavations

Selection Notes

  • Rammer work is confined-area compaction; open-area lifts run faster under the PC7500 reversible plate
  • The adjustable-height handle sets the machine to the operator, worth setting before the first lift
