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.

The Professional Plate Compactor (C60) is a gas-powered walk-behind compactor built for soil, gravel, sand, and asphalt compaction on contractor jobsites. It runs on a gasoline engine with no hydraulic or electrical hookup required — load it off the truck and run it anywhere on the job.

At 132 lbs with a 23 x 20 in base plate, the C60 is suited for trench backfill, patch repairs, landscaping base prep, sidewalk and driveway base compaction, and tight-access work where a ride-on compactor or skid steer attachment cannot operate. The folding handle simplifies transport and storage.

Common Applications
- Trench backfill compaction after utility installation
- Gravel and crushed stone base compaction for flatwork
- Asphalt patch and repair compaction
- Soil and subbase compaction in confined areas
- Landscaping and hardscape base prep

Selection Notes
- Self-powered unit — no carrier machine required
- Best suited for surface and shallow-depth compaction work
- For large open-area compaction, a skid steer drum roller or plate compactor attachment will cover ground faster
- Folding handle reduces storage footprint for transport in truck beds and trailers

The C60 runs a commercial-grade gasoline engine that drives an eccentric weight vibration mechanism through the base plate at 5,500 VPM, generating 3,300 lbs of centrifugal compaction force across a 23 x 20 in steel plate.

Engine & Drive
- Commercial-grade gasoline single-cylinder engine
- Recoil start
- 1.0 gal fuel tank for extended run time between refueling
- Eccentric weight vibration mechanism — no hydraulics, no external power required

Compaction Output
- Centrifugal force: 3,300 lbs
- Vibration frequency: 5,500 VPM
- Base plate: 23 in x 20 in steel plate for even force distribution
- Suited for soil, gravel, sand, and asphalt patch applications

Handle & Controls
- Folding ergonomic handlebar
- Vibration-dampened handle mounts reduce operator fatigue during extended use
- Throttle control on handle — no separate panel

Transport & Storage
- Folding handle for compact storage
- Transport wheels for rolling on and off truck beds and trailers
- Operating weight of 132 lbs — manageable for two-person lift or ramp loading

Maintenance Notes
- Standard gasoline engine maintenance applies — oil, air filter, spark plug
- Base plate and eccentric assembly are field-serviceable
- Consult engine manufacturer documentation for service intervals
