BOMAG has launched the BT 30 tamper, a compact compaction tool designed for tight spaces and trench work. Weighing under 70 lb (31 kg), the machine delivers high compaction force through a 5.5-in (140-mm) plate width, 1.8-in (45-mm) jumping height, and adjustable frequency up to 790 vpm (13.2 hz).
The tamper’s lightweight, ergonomic design makes it easier to transport and maneuver around obstacles. Its variable frequency and large stroke allow it to handle a range of soil types — including clay, silt and mixed soils — for jobs such as trench backfilling, foundation prep, landscaping, and pipeline construction.
Durability features include a Honda 4-stroke gas engine, engine cover for protection during transport, a two-stage self-cleaning air filter, and dual fuel filter system to reduce downtime. An isolated steering handle minimizes vibration for the operator and includes a single-point lift for easy handling.
The BT 30 is built for both rental and commercial use, combining mobility, versatility and rugged construction for demanding jobsites.
