UK-60D Plate Compactor

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.If you're compacting granular soils over large, flat areas, a plate compactor would typically be your best option. Its wider plate size and vibrating nature allows for more uniform layers over a larger amount of square footage. Truth be told, most contractors encounter circumstances where having both are ideal.
