Mikasa MVH158GH Reversible Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH158GH Reversible Plate Compactor is a high-performance solution built for contractors who demand power, durability, and efficiency on challenging jobsites. Delivering 6,070 lbf (27 kN) of compaction force and equipped with a 16.9 in (42.9 cm) plate width, this machine is ideal for sand, gravel, and cohesive soils. With advanced vibration isolation, hydraulic directional controls, and rugged steel construction, the MVH158GH maximizes productivity while maintaining operator comfort and long-term reliability.

KEY FEATURES

• HONDA GX200 ENGINE: Powered by the dependable Honda GX200 engine, delivering consistent output and fuel efficiency. Features low oil shutdown to protect against engine damage and reduce maintenance risks.
• 6,070 LBF (27 kN) COMPACTION FORCE: High centrifugal force ensures deep, effective compaction with fewer passes. Ideal for demanding site preparation, trench work, and foundation projects.
• 16.9 IN (42.9 CM) PLATE WIDTH: The 16.9 × 27.6 in (430 × 700 mm) plate provides excellent surface coverage while maintaining maneuverability. Suitable for medium to large compaction applications.
• HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS: Seamlessly switch between forward and reverse travel with fingertip precision. Allows accurate spot compaction and greater productivity in confined areas.
• LOW-PROFILE BASE PLATE DESIGN: Lowers the center of gravity to improve stability and travel speed. Enhances control and maximizes output per shift.
• HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Built to endure tough jobsite conditions while delivering uniform compaction results. Open plate design prevents material buildup and simplifies cleaning.
• HEAVY-DUTY SHOCK MOUNTS: Isolate engine and internal components from vibration stress. Reduces operator fatigue and extends machine life.
• CYCLONIC PRE-CLEANER SYSTEM: Filters dust and airborne contaminants before they reach the air intake. Extends air filter life and reduces downtime in dusty environments.
• FOLD-OUT FRONT SERVICE COVER: Provides fast, tool-free access to belts, filters, and service points. Simplifies routine maintenance and reduces downtime.
• HOUR/TACHOMETER: Monitors total operating hours and engine RPM, supporting accurate maintenance scheduling and performance tracking.
• STEEL FRAME PROTECTIVE GUARD: Fully integrated protective cage shields the engine and components from impact. Also functions as a built-in central lifting point for safe transport.
• OPTIONAL WHEEL KIT (MODEL WHL158): Tool-free wheel kit option improves jobsite mobility and simplifies repositioning or loading.
• HIGH TRAVEL SPEED: Reaches up to 88 ft/min (27 m/min), improving efficiency and reducing project completion time.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• TRENCH AND UTILITY WORK: Reversible operation and compact width allow effective compaction in confined excavation areas.
• FOUNDATION PREPARATION: Provides deep consolidation for slabs and structural base layers.
• ROADWAY REPAIR: Ideal for patching, base repair, and compacting cohesive soils.
• LANDSCAPING PROJECTS: Suitable for preparing sub-bases for patios, retaining walls, and walkways.
