MBW has tamed one of the industry’s most disliked and physically abusive compaction tools. Pneumatic Tampers (also known as “Pole Tampers”, “Pogo Sticks” and “Bouncing Betties”) produce hand/arm vibration levels that rank among the highest in the industry. Periodic exposure to excessive vibration is known to be a contributing factor in the development of white finger, carpel tunnel syndrome, arthritis and other chronic ailments.

FromMBW Incorporated
MBW has developed the Ergo-Tamp, addressing one of the construction industry's most troubling and physically demanding compaction tools. Known as pneumatic tampers, or colloquially as 'Pole Tampers' and 'Pogo Sticks,' these tools traditionally produce high levels of hand/arm vibration, contributing to ailments such as white finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis. The Ergo-Tamp reduces this vibration by up to 70%, though results may vary with different compaction conditions. The device incorporates a vibration absorption system that can handle the typical amplitude range of pneumatic tampers and benefits from a constant flow of compressed air through its mechanism for cooling. This innovation makes the pneumatic tamper more operator-friendly, reducing premature termination of compaction tasks and thereby decreasing the likelihood of pavement failures. Optional features include a trigger guard to prevent accidental activation.Most popular related searches
The ERGO-TAMP™ reduces hand arm vibration up to 70%, allowing for some variation as conditions of compaction change. The vibration absorption system easily handles the range of amplitudes typical of pneumatic tampers and is cooled by a constant flow of compressed air through its working mechanism.
