Mikasa MVH508 Reversible Plate Compactor

The Mikasa MVH508 Reversible Plate Compactor is the largest and most powerful reversible unit in the MQ-Mikasa lineup, built for maximum output on high-production jobsites. Designed for deep compaction of sand, gravel, and cohesive soils, this machine delivers massive centrifugal force and rugged durability for roadwork, large foundations, and heavy-duty site preparation. Available with either a Honda GX390 gasoline engine or a Hatz 1D90E diesel engine, the MVH508 provides unmatched performance, reliability, and professional-grade control.

KEY FEATURES

• ENGINE OPTIONS – HONDA GX390 OR HATZ 1D90E DIESEL: Choose the Honda GX390 with electric or recoil start for versatile gasoline performance, or the Hatz 1D90E diesel for exceptional torque and fuel efficiency. Both engines are built for dependable, high-output operation in demanding environments.
• EXTREME COMPACTION FORCE OUTPUT: Delivers 13,489 lbf (60 kN) with the gasoline model and an industry-leading 15,737 lbf (70 kN) with the diesel model. Achieve rapid, deep soil consolidation with fewer passes, reducing overall project time.
• OPTIONAL PLATE EXTENSIONS: Expand working width from 20 × 35 in (500 × 900 mm) to 26 × 35 in (650 × 900 mm) by adding up to 6 in (15.2 cm). Customize coverage to match jobsite requirements without sacrificing performance.
• HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS: Effortlessly transition between forward and reverse travel or perform precise spot compaction. Provides superior control, finish quality, and productivity.
• LOW-PROFILE BASE PLATE DESIGN: Low center of gravity improves machine stability and travel speed. Ensures smoother operation on both level and uneven terrain.
• HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL BASE PLATE: Built for extreme durability and impact resistance. Open plate design prevents debris buildup and simplifies cleanup after use.
• HEAVY-DUTY SHOCK MOUNTS: Reduce vibration transfer to the operator and protect internal components during extended, high-intensity operation.
• CYCLONIC PRE-CLEANER SYSTEM: Removes airborne contaminants before they reach the air filter, extending engine life and reducing maintenance in dusty conditions.
• FOLD-OUT FRONT AND REAR SERVICE COVERS: Provide quick access to filters, belts, and service checkpoints, minimizing downtime and improving maintenance efficiency.
• HOUR/TACHOMETER: Monitors engine runtime and RPM for accurate service scheduling and performance tracking across fleets.
• STEEL FRAME PROTECTIVE GUARD: Integrated protective cage shields engine components from debris while serving as a secure central lifting point for safe transport.
• HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TRAVEL SPEED: Achieves up to 82 ft/min (25 m/min), allowing efficient coverage of large compaction areas.

APPLICATIONS / USE CASES

• LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS: Ideal for highways, road bases, and major commercial developments requiring deep compaction.
• FOUNDATION AND SUB-BASE PREPARATION: Provides exceptional soil density for structural integrity and long-term durability.
• INDUSTRIAL SITE PREPARATION: Handles heavy granular and cohesive soils in high-production environments.
• UTILITY AND TRENCH WORK: Reversible control allows precise compaction even in controlled or confined areas.
