The Multiquip MVC-Series plate compactors are walk-behind forward plate compactors for compacting granular soils, sand, and asphalt on base and subgrade. Each model travels in one direction under its own vibration, seating aggregate in lifts for slabs, flatwork, and patch repair.

A gasoline engine spins an eccentric that drives the baseplate against the ground thousands of times a minute, pulling the machine forward as it compacts, and the lineup steps up in plate width and force as the base gets wider or deeper. This is built for the flatwork and sitework crews compacting base for concrete, pavers, and asphalt day in and day out.

Common Applications

  • Compacting granular base and subgrade for slabs and flatwork
  • Seating asphalt patch and repair
  • Base compaction for pavers and hardscape

Selection Notes

  • The 82VH and 88VTH models run dry; the 60VTHW, 82VHW, and 88VTHW models carry a removable water tank for asphalt work.
  • Plate width and force increase across the lineup, so pick by the base width and material you compact.
