Also developed by their engineering department and manufactured at Gouglers, Kent Air Tool introduces 2- sizes of vibratory plate compactors to be marketed as HydraPaks. The KHP-12 was designed for Backhoes while the KHP-25 was engineered expressly for Excavators.

Also in 1976, Kent Air Tool very briefly attempted to market their idea of a “self-contained demolition machine”; the AirRambler. By attaching a KB-999 AirRam to an International 12ft backhoe, powered by a 250 cfm compressor, all mounted to a Loadstar Truck, the enduser was able to quickly drive from one demo job to the next.
