The Multiquip Mikasa MVH508GH is a walk-behind compactor — also known as a reversible plate compactor or vibratory plate — a type of machine used in construction and roadwork to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and other base materials in preparation for paving, trenching, and foundation work. Multiquip Mikasa is a well-established manufacturer of light construction equipment, widely recognized across the construction, utilities, and infrastructure industries for its compaction machinery, concrete equipment, and power products.
This unit is configured as a reversible vibratory plate, meaning the operator can drive it both forward and in reverse, giving greater control when working in confined areas or tight trenches. The plate measures 20 inches by 35 inches, providing a substantial contact area for efficient coverage. Power comes from a Hatz single-cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine, a brand recognized in the construction equipment industry for reliability and durability in demanding field conditions.
The compactor delivers a centrifugal force of 14,613 pounds, which drives compaction to depths of up to 40 inches — performance suited to deeper lift compaction applications where thorough sub-base consolidation is required. The air-cooled engine design reduces maintenance complexity and suits operation in environments where water cooling is impractical.
This is a used 2023 machine located in Utah, USA, listed at $18,600.
