Shipping & Freight

Most equipment and attachments sold by Hardscape Heavy ship by parcel, LTL freight, or specialized freight depending on product size, weight, palletization, and destination.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access delivery, liftgate service, appointment scheduling, and other carrier requirements may affect final delivery handling.

Lead times vary by product type, manufacturer availability, selected options, and freight lane. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items may require additional processing time before shipment.

Buyers should inspect freight shipments at delivery before signing. If visible damage is present, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The Skid Steer Hydraulic Plate Compactor Attachment is built for soil, gravel, aggregate, and trench backfill compaction on contractor jobsites. It mounts to compatible skid steer loaders using a universal quick attach system and is driven by the machine's standard auxiliary hydraulic circuit — no high-flow system required.

At 72 in wide with 33 kN of exciting force and a spindle speed of 2,000 VPM, this attachment covers substantial ground per pass and delivers the compaction density needed for base prep, utility trench backfill, parking lots, and commercial site work.

Common Applications
- Soil and subbase compaction for slabs and foundations
- Trench backfill compaction after utility installation
- Gravel and crushed aggregate base compaction
- Parking lot and driveway base prep
- Large-area site compaction where a hand compactor is too slow

Selection Notes
- Confirm machine hydraulic flow falls within 12–21 GPM before ordering
- 72 in plate width suits mid- to full-size skid steer loaders
- Not suited for confined trench work requiring a narrow plate — consider a jumping jack or rammer for tight access
- Machine must be able to safely support 1,020 lbs at working height during operation

The Skid Steer Hydraulic Plate Compactor Attachment (VPC-11-72W) is a hydraulic vibratory compactor designed for skid steer carriers running standard auxiliary hydraulic circuits. It delivers high-frequency vibratory compaction through an 18 x 72 in steel base plate for efficient soil density across large working areas.

Vibration System
- Hydraulic eccentric weight vibratory mechanism
- Exciting force: 33 kN
- Impulse force: 8,000 lbs
- Vibration speed: 2,000 VPM for consistent compaction frequency
- Hydraulic motor driven by skid steer standard auxiliary circuit

Plate & Coverage
- 72 in wide base plate for efficient large-area compaction
- 18 x 72 in base dimensions — 9 sq ft compaction area per pass
- Flat plate design suited for soil, gravel, and aggregate compaction
- Not designed for asphalt finish compaction

Mount & Interface
- Universal quick attach plate
- Compatible with most skid steer loaders running standard auxiliary hydraulics
- Hydraulic connections: standard flat-face auxiliary couplers

Build
- Heavy-duty steel plate and compactor frame
- Operating weight of 463 kg provides compaction mass without overloading standard carriers
- Designed for repeated daily use in base prep and backfill compaction

Machine Notes
- Hydraulic flow must fall within 12–21 GPM operating range
- System pressure must meet 2,000 PSI minimum
- Machine must safely support 1,020 lbs during operation
- Final compatibility depends on machine make, model, and hydraulic configuration

Included with Purchase
- 1 Skid Steer Hydraulic Plate Compactor Attachment
- Universal quick attach mount
- Hydraulic vibratory motor and eccentric weight assembly
- 18 x 72 in steel base plate

Not Included Unless Stated
- Skid steer loader
- Hydraulic hoses or fittings on the machine side
- On-site installation or machine configuration
