Hydraulic Plate Compactor for hire to suit 5T to 13T Diggers

Need to drive in posts for retaining walls or shelter belts? Looking for a tool to compact material in hard-to-reach areas? There are a range of hydraulic plate compactor attachments available for hire, which suit 5-ton to 13-ton excavators/diggers.

Also known as 'vibe heads,' these compactors can be used for driving in posts and compacting material inside trenches or on batters.
Benefits
• Efficiently and effectively drives in posts for retaining walls and shelter belts.
• Compacts material in hard-to-reach areas such as down banks, on batters or inside trenches.

Connecting the hydraulic plate compactor to the digger
• Easy to attach and detach the hitch of the digger to the compactor.
• The hoses of the compactor need to be directly plumbed to the digger, not to be used with quick release couplings. Contact us for help connecting the compactor to your excavator.
• The digger needs to be set to 100 – 120 litres per minute hydraulic flow and the hydraulics set on single acting.

Features
• Fits 5T to 13T diggers.
• Durable construction for heavy-duty use, although not to be used for any lifting work including pulling posts out.

Specs
• Excavator Suitability: 5T, 10T and 13T

Available Accessories
• Often pairs well with a grapple attachment on another digger/excavator to hold the posts in place when installing shelter belts and other posting work.

Health & Safety
• Ensure the plate compactor is securely attached before use.
• Follow all safety guidelines for operating heavy machinery.
• Regularly inspect the compactor for wear and tear.

Transporting Options
• Can be transported while attached to your digger.
• Suitable for transport on the back of trailers or truck decks.

License Requirements
