Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH-200DA2 is a walk-behind, reversible plate compactor designed for the compaction of sand, clay and asphalt. This plate compactor is a powerful compacting tool capable of applying a tremendous force in consecutive high frequency vibrations to a soil surface. Its applications include soil compacting for road, embankments and reservoirs as well as backfilling for gas pipelines, water pipelines and cable installation work.

Vibratory Plates

The vibratory plates of the MVH-200DA2 produce low amplitude high frequency vibrations, designed to compact granular soils.

The resulting vibrations cause forward motion.The engine and handle are vibration isolated from the vibrating plate.The heavier the plate, the more compaction force it generates.

ReversibleVibratory Plates

Reversible vibratory plates have two eccentric weights that allow a smooth transition for forward and reverse travel, plus increased compaction force as the result of dual weights.

Due to their weight and force, reversible plates are ideal for semi-cohesive soils.

MVH-200DA2 — FEATURES

Frequency/Speed

The compactor's vibrating plate maximum frequency is 5200 vpm (vibrations per minute).The forward and reverse travel speed of the compactor is approximately 75 ft./minute (23 meters/ minute).

Engine

The Mikasa MVH-200DA2 Plate Compactor is equipped with an air-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder YANMAR L70V6 diesel engine.
