The Mikasa MVH208GH Reversible Plate Compactor is engineered for high-production compaction where power, durability, and control are essential. Delivering 8,318 lbf (37 kN) of compaction force and featuring a wide 20 in (50.8 cm) class plate, this heavy-duty unit is ideal for sand, gravel, and cohesive soils. Built with rugged construction, advanced vibration isolation, and a reliable Honda GX270 engine, the MVH208GH is designed for foundations, roadwork, trench applications, and large commercial projects.

KEY FEATURES

HONDA GX270 ENGINE: Powered by the trusted Honda GX270 engine for consistent output and dependable performance. Includes automatic low oil shutdown to protect the engine and extend machine life.
8,318 LBF (37 kN) COMPACTION FORCE: High centrifugal force enables deeper soil penetration with fewer passes. Improves productivity and efficiency on demanding compaction tasks.
WIDE 20 IN (50.8 CM) PLATE WIDTH: The 28.3 × 19.7 in (720 × 500 mm) plate provides excellent coverage and balance. Ideal for large-scale compaction and heavy-use job sites.
HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS: Smoothly transition between forward and reverse motion with precise control. Enables accurate spot compaction and enhances operator productivity.
LOW-PROFILE BASE PLATE DESIGN: Lowers the center of gravity for increased stability and improved travel speed. Performs efficiently even on uneven terrain.
HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Built for impact resistance and durability under harsh conditions. Open design allows quick debris clearance and easy cleanup.
HEAVY-DUTY SHOCK MOUNTS: Reduce vibration transfer to the operator while protecting internal components from stress. Enhances comfort and prolongs machine lifespan.
CYCLONIC PRE-CLEANER SYSTEM: Filters airborne debris before it reaches the air intake, extending air filter life and reducing maintenance in dusty environments.
FOLD-OUT FRONT SERVICE COVER: Provides fast access to belts, filters, and oil points for simplified and efficient maintenance.
HOUR/TACHOMETER: Monitors engine RPM and runtime, helping track usage and maintain proper service intervals.
STEEL FRAME PROTECTIVE GUARD: Integrated roll cage protects engine and vital components from impact while serving as a centralized lifting point for safe transport.
HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TRAVEL SPEED: Reaches up to 85 ft/min (26 m/min), improving output and reducing overall project time.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

FOUNDATION PREPARATION: Provides deep consolidation for slabs and large structural bases.
ROADWORK AND REPAIR: Ideal for compacting base layers and cohesive soils in roadway construction.
TRENCH COMPACTION: Reversible functionality enables precise compaction in confined areas.
LARGE COMMERCIAL PROJECTS: Designed for high-output jobs requiring consistent and reliable performance.
