Product Overview: MVC60VHW Plate Compactor
The MVC60VHW combines heavy-duty, high-tensile steel construction with advanced engineering for edge-to-edge compaction efficiency. Its extra-thick, double baseplate design not only improves wear resistance but also provides consistent force across the entire plate width. The curved baseplate minimizes drag—essential for both soil and hot asphalt work—while an easy-fill water tank adds versatility for paving and patching jobs.

Features & User Advantages
Edge-to-Edge Compaction, Even on Asphalt
The MVC60VHW’s thick, ductile iron baseplate and high vibration frequency ensure uniform compaction, whether you’re prepping sub-bases, setting pavers, or finishing hot asphalt. Its rounded base corners and sturdy design enable close work along curbs, forms, and utility structures without damaging surfaces or leaving un-compacted edges.
Integrated Water System for Asphalt & Dust Control
A large 11-liter (2.9 gal) polytank delivers consistent water flow to the plate, preventing hot mix from sticking and minimizing dust. The tank’s easy top-fill design and large capacity allow longer runs between refills, boosting jobsite productivity.
Ergonomic, Low-Vibration Handle
Multiquip’s anti-vibration system reduces hand-arm vibration to below industry safety thresholds, maximizing operator comfort and reducing fatigue during extended shifts. Both the handle and folding mechanism are engineered for hassle-free site maneuvering and compact transport.
Durable, Easy-to-Maintain Construction
Lifetime-lubricated bearing systems and a Honda GX120 engine known for reliable cold starts and fuel efficiency mean less downtime and lower costs. A single-point lifting eye and fold-down handles simplify transport and storage for small crews or rental fleets.
