This Multiquip Mikasa MVH508GH is a walk-behind compactor — also commonly known as a plate compactor or vibratory plate — a machine used in construction and civil works to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and sub-base materials in preparation for paving, foundations, and utility trenching. Multiquip Mikasa is a well-established name in light construction equipment, producing compaction machinery, concrete tools, and related equipment for contractors, utility crews, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
This unit was ordered new for 2023 stock and is offered used from a location in Utah. It is configured as a reversible vibratory plate, meaning the operator can drive it both forward and in reverse, giving greater control and making it well suited to confined areas such as trenches and tight backfill applications.
Power comes from a Hatz diesel engine with a single-cylinder, air-cooled configuration. Hatz is a recognised manufacturer of compact diesel engines known for reliability in demanding site conditions. The plate measures 20 inches by 35 inches, providing a substantial working footprint. The machine develops a centrifugal force of 14,613 pounds, which determines how effectively and aggressively it transmits energy into the material being compacted. Compaction depth is rated at up to 40 inches, indicating the machine's capability to densify material well below the surface rather than acting only on the top layers.
The listing carries an equipment certification code of NCR. This 2023 machine is priced at $20,200.
