The CHI Pneumatic MV224 is a walk-behind compactor — also commonly known as a plate compactor or vibratory plate — used in road construction, landscaping, and site preparation work to densify soil, gravel, asphalt, and other base materials. CHI Pneumatic is a manufacturer of pneumatic and compaction equipment serving the construction and infrastructure industries.
This 2018 machine is a forward-and-reversible unit, meaning it can be driven in both directions without turning around, which improves maneuverability in confined areas and speeds up compaction passes. The base plate measures 19.7 inches in width and is fabricated from Hardox 400 steel, a premium abrasion-resistant material rated at 400 HBW on the Brinell Hardness scale. This grade of steel is chosen specifically for ground-contact wear surfaces because it combines excellent resistance to abrasion with enough flexibility to withstand repeated impact without cracking.
The compactor delivers close to 8,100 pounds of centrifugal compaction force at a vibration rate of 3,500 vibrations per minute, and it travels at speeds of up to 82 feet per minute. The Honda engine powering the machine is housed within a heavy-duty protective frame designed to absorb jobsite impacts and shield the power unit from damage. The operator handles are vibration-dampened, reducing fatigue during extended use and helping the operator maintain steady, consistent control for uniform compaction results.
This is a used example located in the USA, offered at $5,399.
