A trench compactor is a machine specifically used to compact backfill for trenches. Trench compactors are offered in a variety of sizes to suit both narrow and large trenches and a variety of soil types. Trench compactors are different from other types of compactors because they typically deal only with granular soil and often require certain dimensions to work within the narrow areas of a trench. Today’s trench compactors come with modern technology that allows them to be remote-controlled, portable, and sometimes, hand-held.

Most often, trench compaction is typically used in construction projects such as yards, golf courses, parks, water, sewer and more. Remote-controlled technology leaves the trench compactor without a driver thus reducing operation hazards and allowing for deeper narrower trenches. Remote control technology also reduces the trench and vibration noise that could affect a driver. Some trench compactors also come with an umbilical cord or with manual controls on the machine.
