Multiquip MVC88VTHW 20" Plate Compactor, Honda GX160 Engine, Includes Water Tank

Multiquip MVC88VTHW - Plate Compactor

The Multiquip MVC88VTHW is a top-tier, single-direction vibratory plate compactor engineered for maximum productivity, especially on asphalt and cohesive or granular soils.

High Impact, Wide Coverage: This compactor is powered by a reliable commercial-grade Honda GX engine (typically GX160/GX200) and delivers a substantial impact force (over ²$3,500\ lbf$), designed to achieve deep and rapid material densification.³ Its wide plate (approx. 19.7 inches) ensures maximum coverage with every pass, significantly speeding up medium to large-scale projects like foundations and parking lots.

Optimized for Asphalt: This model comes standard with a convenient, removable water tank and sprinkler system. This feature is crucial for effective asphalt compaction, as the water prevents the hot material from sticking to the plate, ensuring a smooth, high-quality finish and suppressing dust when working with dry materials.
