FAQs

How Do Plate Compactors Work?

Plate compactors use hydraulic or electric power to drive a vibrating steel plate. This vibration pushes out air, compacts loose material, and creates a stable, dense surface.

What Are Plate Compactors Used For?

Plate compactors are used to compress soil, sand, or gravel for roads, sidewalks, trenches, or jobsite prep. On excavators, they’re ideal for tight spaces or trench backfilling.

Can I Use A Plate Compactor On Different Types Of Soil?

Yes. Most plate compactors work across soil types. Just choose the right plate size and vibration force for the material you’re working with.

Do I Need A Case Drain For The Compactor Attachment?

Some plate compactors require a case drain to release excess fluid. It depends on the brand, so always check the listing or ask us for help confirming compatibility.

Do Your Plate Compactors Come With A Warranty?

Yes—plate compactors are covered by manufacturer warranties. You’ll find details on our return policy page: https://eskidsteer.com/pages/return-and-refund-policy
