Built to Deliver: Model Overview

From compact utility models to heavy-duty powerhouses, Multiquip offers a full range of options:

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

Each model is equipped with a durable compactor vibrating plate, engineered for maximum ground contact and even compaction across various soil types and jobsite conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

✔️ Dual Direction Control
Effortlessly shift between forward and reverse to maximize coverage, especially in confined areas. This core feature of every reversible plate compactor reduces turnaround time and operator fatigue.

✔️ Heavy-Duty Performance
With centrifugal forces ranging from 5,000 to over 15,000 lbs., these units rival roller compactors in impact, making them suitable for aggressive soil and light compaction of asphalt applications.

✔️ Reliable Power Options
Choose from Honda gas engines for lighter units or Hatz diesel engines for greater torque and extended runtime. Both options provide consistent energy for every vibratory plate compactor task.

✔️ Jobsite Versatility
Multiquip’s reversible plate compactors work across a range of applications, from granular fill and sub-base to patching around utilities. Add a water tank to select models for improved performance on compaction of asphalt.

Operator-Friendly Design

All models are built with productivity in mind: anti-vibration handles, easy-access controls, and solid steel components protect both operator and machine. The balanced design of each compactor vibrating plate enhances stability while reducing the effort needed for precise maneuvering.
