Mikasa MVC82VH Forward Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVC82VH Forward Plate Compactor is a professional-grade machine built for dependable, high-impact compaction on granular soils and asphalt. Producing 3,080 lbf (13.7 kN) of compaction force and equipped with a durable 17.7 in (45 cm) base plate, this unit is designed for construction sites, roadwork, and utility projects. Powered by the trusted Honda GX160 engine and engineered for durability and low maintenance, the MVC82VH delivers consistent performance shift after shift.

KEY FEATURES

• HONDA GX160 ENGINE: Known for reliability and fuel efficiency, this engine delivers consistent power with easy starting. Built-in low oil shutdown protection helps extend engine life and reduce downtime.
• 3,080 LBF (13.7 kN) COMPACTION FORCE: High-impact force ensures effective compaction of soil and asphalt. Reduces the number of passes required to achieve optimal density.
• 17.7 IN (45 CM) PLATE WIDTH: The 17.7 × 22.4 in (450 × 570 mm) plate provides increased surface coverage while maintaining maneuverability for medium to large applications.
• CYCLONIC AIR PRE-CLEANER: Captures airborne contaminants before they reach the air filter. Extends engine life and improves performance in dusty jobsite conditions.
• ANTI-VIBRATION HANDLE: Reduces hand-arm vibration to minimize operator fatigue. Enhances comfort and productivity during extended operation.
• SOLID HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Designed for long-term durability in harsh environments. Delivers consistent compaction performance under heavy use.
• TUBULAR STEEL ROLL BAR: Protects engine components from impact and doubles as a central lifting point for safe transport.
• SEALED BELT COVER: Prevents debris intrusion into the belt system. Extends belt life and reduces maintenance requirements.
• OPEN BASE PLATE DESIGN: Allows dirt and rocks to clear easily, minimizing buildup and simplifying post-job cleanup.
• COG-TOOTH BELT DRIVE SYSTEM: Offers improved durability and longer service life compared to traditional V-belt systems.
• FRONT-MOUNTED EXCITER ASSEMBLY: Provides easier access for service and maintenance, helping reduce downtime.
• OPTIONAL WATER TANK: 11.6 qt (11.6 L) removable reservoir supports dust control and asphalt compaction without moving the entire unit.
• HIGH TRAVEL SPEED: Reaches up to 82 ft/min (25 m/min), maximizing productivity across compact areas.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• ROADWORK AND ASPHALT PATCHING: Delivers consistent compaction for surface repairs and base preparation.
• UTILITY PROJECTS: Ideal for compacting trench backfill and granular materials.
• CONSTRUCTION SITE PREP: Suitable for base layers before slab or pavement installation.
• LANDSCAPING AND HARD-SCAPE INSTALLATIONS: Effective for compacting sub-bases under pavers and walkways.
