Mikasa MVH408 Reversible Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH408 Reversible Plate Compactor is built for maximum production in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Delivering an exceptional 12,365 lbf (55 kN) of compaction force, this heavy-duty unit is engineered for deep soil consolidation in sand, gravel, and cohesive materials. Available with either a Honda GX390 gasoline engine or a Hatz 1B50E diesel engine, the MVH408 combines serious power, operator comfort, and rugged durability to handle large-scale compaction jobs with confidence.

KEY FEATURES

• ENGINE OPTIONS – HONDA GX390 OR HATZ 1B50E DIESEL: Choose between the electric-start Honda GX390 gasoline engine or the powerful Hatz 1B50E diesel engine. Both options are designed for continuous high-demand operation with reliable output and fuel efficiency.
• MASSIVE 12,365 LBF (55 kN) COMPACTION FORCE: Exceptional centrifugal force delivers deeper compaction with fewer passes. Ideal for large commercial foundations, roadwork, and heavy sub-base preparation.
• OPTIONAL PLATE EXTENSIONS: Expand working width from 20 × 35 in (500 × 900 mm) to 26 × 35 in (650 × 900 mm) by adding up to 6 in (15.2 cm). Adapt coverage to project demands without sacrificing performance.
• HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS: Seamlessly transition between forward and reverse travel or perform precise spot compaction. Responsive controls enhance productivity and operator precision.
• LOW-PROFILE BASE PLATE DESIGN: Lowers the center of gravity to improve stability and increase travel speed. Ensures smoother, more efficient compaction passes.
• HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Impact-resistant and built for extreme conditions. Open plate design prevents debris buildup and allows easy post-job cleanup.
• HEAVY-DUTY SHOCK MOUNTS: Absorb vibration to protect internal components and reduce hand-arm fatigue during extended operation.
• CYCLONIC PRE-CLEANER SYSTEM: Filters airborne dust and debris before it reaches the engine, extending service intervals and protecting internal components in dusty conditions.
• FOLD-OUT FRONT SERVICE COVER: Tool-free access to belts, filters, and maintenance checkpoints reduces downtime and simplifies routine servicing.
• HOUR/TACHOMETER: Displays engine hours and RPM for accurate service scheduling and fleet monitoring.
• STEEL FRAME PROTECTIVE GUARD: Integrated roll cage protects the engine from impact and serves as a secure central lifting point for safe transport.
• COMPAS KIT COMPATIBILITY: Optional COMPAS kit is compatible only with the MVH408DE Hatz diesel model.
• HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TRAVEL SPEED: Achieves up to 82 ft/min (25 m/min), increasing jobsite efficiency on large compaction areas.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• LARGE COMMERCIAL FOUNDATIONS: Provides deep, consistent compaction for heavy structural bases.
• ROADWORK AND INFRASTRUCTURE: Ideal for compacting thick granular layers and cohesive soils in high-demand projects.
• INDUSTRIAL SITE PREPARATION: Designed for large-scale sub-base compaction and demanding terrain.
• TRENCH AND UTILITY WORK: Reversible functionality allows controlled compaction in confined areas.
