The Multiquip Mikasa MVH508GH is a walk-behind compactor — sometimes called a plate compactor or vibratory plate — a type of equipment used to compact soil, gravel, and other base materials in road construction, trenching, and site preparation work. Multiquip Mikasa is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and concrete equipment, supplying products to construction, utility, and infrastructure industries worldwide.
This particular machine is a reversible vibratory plate, meaning it can travel both forward and in reverse under its own power, which significantly improves maneuverability and productivity in confined spaces such as trenches and footings. It is powered by a Hatz diesel engine with a single-cylinder, air-cooled configuration — a reliable and widely serviced engine type well suited to demanding outdoor compaction work.
The plate measures 20 inches by 35 inches, providing a substantial compaction footprint. The machine delivers a centrifugal force of 14,613 pounds and is rated for a compaction depth of up to 40 inches, making it capable of handling deeper lifts of fill material in a single pass. These figures place it in a higher-performance class among walk-behind reversible plates.
This is a used unit from 2023, located in Utah, USA, and is listed at $20,200.
