Plate Compactor

Plate compactors can be used to compact and repair asphalt and sub-base on driveways and parking lots. Rollers like these can get into tight spaces that larger rollers probably can't. If contractors are looking for the right plate compactor, they have a few options.Plate compactors exert force on the ground using a large plate, usually made from steel, that vibrates rapidly. The force compacts the soil and the vibration encourages the grains to move closer together, eliminating air pockets and providing tighter compaction.
