Application
Used for compacting soil, sand or gravel prior to pouring concrete or laying asphalt surfaces. Also ideal for asphalt patch work.
Superior Compaction Force
These units produce high-power impulses at a rate of 2200 impacts per minute driving soil particles close together for solid, stable compactions.
Common Mounting Solutions
Cat vibratory plate compactors share the same mounting solutions as the Cat B and H model Hammers. Mounting brackets are available for pin on, pin grabber, pin lock, CW, and S type connections.
Protected Hydraulics
Hydraulic hoses are protected inside the frame of the compactor. Jumper lines are routed out the back of the compactor. Hoses are out of the way – even in tight trenches.
Easy Maintenance
Oil changes are simplified with the rear centerline plug. Oil can be changed while the compactor is installed.
Rubber Isolators
A heavy-duty steel frame and solid rubber isolator bushings deliver the maximum amount of power to the ground while minimizing machine impact.
