Description

Multiquip Reversible Plate Compactor

Built for Power, Precision, and Jobsite Efficiency

The reversible plate compactor from Multiquip gives contractors the strength and control needed for today’s demanding soil and asphalt projects. Unlike a standard vibratory plate compactor, these machines move both forward and backward with ease, maximizing coverage while reducing operator fatigue. From trench backfill and granular sub-base to select compaction of asphalt, this lineup is engineered to perform in tough conditions without slowing your crew down.

Performance Across Every Model

Multiquip offers a full range of sizes, making it easy to match the right reversible plate compactor to your project:

  • MVH128GH – 5,283 lbs. force, Honda GX160, 15.8 in. plate
  • MVH158GH – 6,070 lbs. force, Honda GX200, 16.9 in. plate
  • MVH208GH – 8,318 lbs. force, Honda GX270, 20 in. plate
  • MVH308 Series – Gas and diesel options, 10,116 lbs. force, 18 in. plate
  • MVH408 Series – 12,365 lbs. force, 20 in. plate
  • MVH508 Series – Up to 15,737 lbs. force, 20 in. plate (gas or diesel options)

Each unit features a rugged compactor vibrating plate, designed for maximum ground contact and consistent results across different soil types.

Key Features That Drive Productivity

  • Dual Direction Control – Quickly shift from forward to reverse, perfect for confined areas or longer runs.
  • High-Impact Strength – With up to 15,737 lbs. of centrifugal force, every reversible plate compactor rivals small rollers in power.
  • Flexible Power Options – Choose Honda gas engines for lighter models or Hatz diesel for extended runtime.
  • Jobsite Versatility – Add optional water tanks for effective compaction of asphalt alongside soil applications.

Operator-Focused Design

Contractors appreciate more than just compaction force. Multiquip engineered these machines with anti-vibration handles, ergonomic controls, and durable steel frames to ensure long service life. The balanced design of each compactor vibrating plate improves stability, making operation smoother and more precise even on uneven terrain.
