The Multiquip Mikasa MVC82VH is a walk-behind compactor — also commonly called a plate compactor or vibratory plate — a type of ground compaction equipment used in construction, road work, and landscaping to consolidate soil, gravel, sand, and asphalt base layers. Multiquip is a well-established manufacturer of construction equipment and power products, supplying contractors and rental fleets across sectors including road building, site preparation, and general civil construction. Mikasa is Multiquip's compaction-focused line, known for producing reliable vibratory plates and rammers used on professional job sites.
This machine is powered by a Honda engine rated at 4.8 horsepower, running on gasoline in a four-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder configuration — a combination well regarded for straightforward maintenance and dependable field operation.
The compactor delivers 3,080 pounds of centrifugal force through a baseplate measuring 17.7 inches by 22 inches, giving it a well-defined contact area suited to working in confined trenches as well as open surfaces. It is rated to achieve compaction depth of up to 12 inches, making it capable of addressing subbase and fill layers of meaningful thickness. The machine has an operating weight of 181 pounds.
A built-in water tank with a capacity of 11.5 quarts is included, allowing the plate to be kept wet during asphalt compaction to prevent material from sticking to the baseplate.
This is a used unit from 2020, located in Utah, USA, and is listed at $1,800.
