The Multiquip Mikasa MVC82VH is a walk-behind compactor — sometimes called a plate compactor or vibratory plate — a type of compaction equipment used to densify soil, gravel, asphalt, and other base materials in preparation for paving, landscaping, and construction work. Multiquip is a well-established manufacturer of construction equipment and power products, supplying contractors and rental fleets across a wide range of ground-working and site-preparation applications.
This unit is powered by a Honda engine rated at 4.8 horsepower, running on gasoline with a four-cycle, air-cooled, single-cylinder configuration — a dependable and widely serviced engine type common to this class of compactor. The machine generates 3,080 pounds of centrifugal force, delivering effective compaction to depths of up to 12 inches, making it well suited to compacting subbase layers and backfill in trenches and confined areas.
The baseplate measures 17.7 inches by 22 inches, providing a broad contact surface for efficient coverage on each pass. An 11.5-quart water tank is fitted to the machine, which serves to wet the baseplate and prevent asphalt from sticking during compaction of bituminous materials. Operating weight is 181 pounds.
This is a used example from the year 2000, located in Utah, USA, and is offered at $2,000.
