MasterPac Compaction Plates

Masterpac's forward plate compactor range offers a robust and versatile solution for compacting granular soils, sand, gravel, and even asphalt in a single direction. These single-direction vibratory plates are the workhorses of smaller to medium-sized compaction tasks, ideal for applications where manoeuvrability and consistent performance are key.

The Masterpac PC Series (including models like PC3008, PC3610, PC4012, PC4515, PC5018, PC5021, PC70H, PC90H, and PCV110H) and the BNMP80 models are designed for a wide array of general applications. These include preparing bases for curbs, gutters, and around tanks, compacting backfill for foundations and columns, as well as landscaping, laying paving blocks, working on drainage ditches, and performing light to medium road repair.

Key characteristics that define Masterpac's forward plate compactors include:

• Robust Construction: They feature solid, high-strength steel base plates with curved edges, engineered for top performance and durability. Many models also offer cast iron wear-resistant, lubricated vibrator assemblies for prolonged life.

• Reliable Power: Masterpac typically powers these units with dependable Honda GX series petrol engines, with some models also offering Kohler, Robin, Lombardini, or Hatz diesel engine options, ensuring consistent power and performance.

• Operator Comfort and Safety: Features such as anti-vibration removable flip-over handles reduce operator fatigue and facilitate easy transportation and storage. A sturdy, protected throttle lever ensures safe operation, and solid engine frames with lifting eyes protect the engine from dirt and damage, while also aiding in transport.

• Versatility: Optional accessories like water tanks and sprinkle systems make them suitable for asphalt compaction, while polyurethane pads can be added for compacting paving applications without damaging surfaces. Transport wheels are also often available for easy movement around job sites.

• Range of Sizes: With various plate sizes and centrifugal forces, the PC series caters to different job requirements, from smaller areas needing precise compaction (like the PC3008) to larger tasks requiring more significant impact.

Masterpac's forward plate compactors are a cost-effective and efficient choice for contractors and landscapers seeking reliable equipment for a multitude of compaction duties on construction and civil works sites across Australia.
