Concrete Plate Compactor

A plate compactor uses a large steel plate to get rid of air pockets in various ground materials and provide tighter compaction. They work on rough and uneven ground, to flatten it and create a level grade. Commonly, this will be soil, sand, hardcore, gravel, asphalt and similar.A compactor is a type of construction machine used to apply pressure to soil that reduces air pocks and allows the soil to handle heavier weights on even surfaces. The two main types of compactors are roller compactors and flat plate compactors.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.
