Vibratory Plates

Trade Names: Plate, Forward plate, tamper, compactor, MQ Mikasa

HOW DO VIBRATORY PLATES WORK?

Forward plate compactors use a v-belt drive to turn a rotating eccentric shaft mounted on the baseplate to compact and generate forward momentum. The result is LOW amplitude, HIGH frequency VIBRATION that consolidates the material, removes air pockets and increases load bearing ability.

Asphalt, underground, concrete and general contractors; municipalities, landscapers, utilities

What soil types are best for plates?
Granular material and asphalt
