Terminology
Different projects may use impact roller, impact compactor or impact rammer roller for similar equipment discussions.
Impact rammer roller terminology
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
Impact rammer roller is a search term used by buyers to describe impact compaction equipment with a rolling or repeated impact action.
Use this guide to connect the term to the practical CMG equipment discussion and prepare an RFQ.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Working system
The roller, power or tow unit, damping arrangement, operating space and verification route should be reviewed together.
Model evidence
CMG currently publishes source-matched technical data for the 32 kJ and 35 kJ impact roller pages.
RFQ route
The enquiry should move from a machine term to application, material, area and access.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not assume a search term identifies a specific model.
- Do not use a generic product term as evidence of technical suitability.
- Confirm model, configuration and source before quotation.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Application and work area
- Material and moisture condition
- Available power or tow equipment
- Required model documentation
- Delivery and acceptance requirements
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

Further questions for the project team.
What does impact rammer roller mean?
It is a buyer search term often used for impact compaction equipment; the exact machine must be confirmed through RFQ.
Is it different from an impact roller?
The term may overlap. CMG reviews the requested machine, application and configuration rather than relying on wording alone.
Which technical data is published?
The 32 kJ and 35 kJ impact roller pages publish source-matched parameters.
What should be sent with the enquiry?
Application, material, work area, access, available equipment and delivery target.
