Reversible Plate Compactor

A reversible vibratory plate compactor provides variable forward and reverse operation, which is ideal for compacting trenches and back filling around foundations. In addition, these machines can be used stationary for “spot” compaction.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.A compactor is a machine or mechanism used to reduce the size of material such as waste material or bio mass through compaction. A trash compactor is often used by a home or business to reduce the volume of trash it produces.Air-cooled 4 stroke gasoline engine. Max power: 6.5 HP @ 3600 RPM.A plate compactor is used to compress some types of soil and gravel for construction projects that require a stable subsurface. Plate compactors come in many different designs with different accessories, though the major features are stable.A plate compactor is a compaction machine used for construction projects that require compaction. Whether you're laying a concrete slab, building a patio, or back filling a trench, plate compactors are required to compact your foundation material.
