Mikasa MVH208GH Reversible Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH208GH Reversible Plate Compactor is engineered for high-production compaction where power, durability, and control are essential. Delivering 8,318 lbf (37 kN) of compaction force and featuring a wide 20 in (50.8 cm) class plate, this heavy-duty unit is ideal for sand, gravel, and cohesive soils. Built with rugged construction, advanced vibration isolation, and a reliable Honda GX270 engine, the MVH208GH is designed for foundations, roadwork, trench applications, and large commercial projects.

KEY FEATURES

• HONDA GX270 ENGINE: Powered by the trusted Honda GX270 engine for consistent output and dependable performance. Includes automatic low oil shutdown to protect the engine and extend machine life.
• 8,318 LBF (37 kN) COMPACTION FORCE: High centrifugal force enables deeper soil penetration with fewer passes. Improves productivity and efficiency on demanding compaction tasks.
• WIDE 20 IN (50.8 CM) PLATE WIDTH: The 28.3 × 19.7 in (720 × 500 mm) plate provides excellent coverage and balance. Ideal for large-scale compaction and heavy-use job sites.
• HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS: Smoothly transition between forward and reverse motion with precise control. Enables accurate spot compaction and enhances operator productivity.
• LOW-PROFILE BASE PLATE DESIGN: Lowers the center of gravity for increased stability and improved travel speed. Performs efficiently even on uneven terrain.
• HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Built for impact resistance and durability under harsh conditions. Open design allows quick debris clearance and easy cleanup.
• HEAVY-DUTY SHOCK MOUNTS: Reduce vibration transfer to the operator while protecting internal components from stress. Enhances comfort and prolongs machine lifespan.
• CYCLONIC PRE-CLEANER SYSTEM: Filters airborne debris before it reaches the air intake, extending air filter life and reducing maintenance in dusty environments.
• FOLD-OUT FRONT SERVICE COVER: Provides fast access to belts, filters, and oil points for simplified and efficient maintenance.
• HOUR/TACHOMETER: Monitors engine RPM and runtime, helping track usage and maintain proper service intervals.
• STEEL FRAME PROTECTIVE GUARD: Integrated roll cage protects engine and vital components from impact while serving as a centralized lifting point for safe transport.
• HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TRAVEL SPEED: Reaches up to 85 ft/min (26 m/min), improving output and reducing overall project time.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• FOUNDATION PREPARATION: Provides deep consolidation for slabs and large structural bases.
• ROADWORK AND REPAIR: Ideal for compacting base layers and cohesive soils in roadway construction.
• TRENCH COMPACTION: Reversible functionality enables precise compaction in confined areas.
• LARGE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS: Designed for high-output jobs requiring consistent and reliable performance.
