A plate compactor is an essential machine for anyone working in construction, landscaping, or roadwork. It helps create a solid, level foundation by compacting soil, gravel, sand, or asphalt. But with so many models available, how do you pick the right one?
Consider Your Project Type
Soil and Gravel Compaction → Look for higher compaction force and possibly a reversible model for deeper layers.
Asphalt Work → Choose a compactor with a water tank to prevent asphalt from sticking to the plate.
Paving Stones → Use a model with a rubber mat to avoid damaging delicate surfaces.
Check the Compaction Force
Light-duty jobs → 8–12 kN
Medium-duty → 13–20 kN
Heavy-duty → 20 kN and above
JIEHE company can provide 8KN-25kN or bigger compaction force
Plate Size Matters
Small plates → Tight areas and pathways
Large plates → Bigger spaces, faster work
Engine Type
Petrol or diesel → Outdoor, high-power work
Electric → Indoor, low-noise applications
Additional Features
Reversible operation for easier maneuvering
Water sprinklers for asphalt
Low-vibration handles for operator comfort
