The system is precisely engineered to produce a high-frequency vibration, which aids in the densification of material during the compaction process. This results in optimal performance, enabling operators to complete their tasks more efficiently.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the MVH408GH. The compactor features a protective frame that shields the engine and other critical components from potential damage on the job site.
