The Multiquip Mikasa MVH508GH is a walk-behind compactor — sometimes called a plate compactor or vibratory plate — a class of ground compaction equipment used to densify soil, gravel, asphalt, and granular base materials on construction, road-building, and utility projects. Multiquip Mikasa is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and concrete equipment, supplying contractors across construction, infrastructure, and civil engineering industries worldwide.
This 2020 machine is a reversible vibratory plate, meaning the operator can drive it both forward and backward without turning the unit around, which is a significant advantage when working in trenches, confined areas, or layered lifts. It is powered by a Hatz diesel engine with an air-cooled single-cylinder configuration, a durable and widely serviced powerplant common to heavy-duty compaction applications.
The plate measures 20 inches by 35 inches, providing a broad compaction footprint suited to wider passes and faster coverage. It delivers a centrifugal force of 14,613 pounds, which is the outward force generated by the eccentric mechanism that drives compaction energy into the ground. Combined with a compaction depth of up to 40 inches, the machine is capable of reaching and densifying material well below the surface, making it suitable for deeper lift compaction requirements.
This unit is used, located in Utah, USA, and carries an equipment certification code of NCR. It is listed at $14,365.
