How to choose the right Plate Compactor for the job
Meiwa has a large range of small construction equipment. If you’re wondering if our plate compactors match your requirements, here are some factors to consider:
Plate compactors can be broadly categorized into single-plate, reversible plate and heavy-duty compactors. A single-plate compactor only moves in a forward direction and is the popular choice for small asphalt jobs. Reversible plate compactors move in forward and reverse directions; reversible and heavy-duty plate compactors are used for compacting sub-bases or achieving deep depth compaction.
The shape and size of the plate affects compaction. The curved plate makes it easy to turn the compactor and does not gouge the asphalt. The dimensions of the plate are key to working in tight places.
Plate compactors that come with a water tank are preferred by builders and business owners. The water acts as a barrier between the hot asphalt and cold compaction plate, removing the risk that the plate will adhere to the asphalt.
