MASALTA MH160 Forward-Reverse Plate Compactor – Compaction
Description
The Masalta MH160 Forward/Reverse Plate Compactor is engineered for heavy-duty compaction of sandy and gravelly soils in restricted areas such as trenches, sidewalks, and foundations. Designed as an effective alternative to a rammer when the compaction area is larger, this hydraulic reversible plate compactor offers high production and efficient compaction on sand, gravel, and cohesive soils. Its innovative features and robust design ensure reliable performance and enhanced operator comfort on every job site.
Detailed Specifications:
- Motion: Infinitely variable hydraulic forward and reverse motion
- Control System: Hydraulic adjustment control lever for easy direction change and a professional, strong casting aluminum throttle lever for durability and comfort
- Handles: User-friendly isolated vibration handles that fold to 45° and 90° for easy transportation and storage
- Base Plate: Impact-resistant and open self-cleaning base plate for consistent compaction performance
- Belt Cover: Robust, sealed belt cover for clutch and belt protection
- Safety: Reverse travel safety protection ensures the plate automatically reverts to slow forward travel if the operator releases the travel control lever while reversing
- Optional Feature: Electric starter available for the diesel engine
Key Features & Benefits:
- Heavy-Duty Performance:
Ideal for large compaction areas, delivering efficient results in place of a rammer. - Versatile Operation:
Hydraulic reversible motion enables on-the-spot compaction for problem areas with variable soil types. - Enhanced Operator Comfort:
High-quality shock absorbers and isolated vibration handles reduce hand-arm vibration, ensuring maximum comfort during extended use. - Ease of Transport & Storage:
Foldable handles and a compact design simplify transportation and storage. - Durable Construction:
A robust design featuring an impact-resistant, self-cleaning base plate and sealed belt cover maximizes longevity and minimizes maintenance.
Applications & Industry Uses:
Perfect for narrow trench compaction and other small-area projects, the Masalta MH160 is widely used in construction, civil engineering, road maintenance, and landscaping. It is particularly suited for compacting sandy, gravelly, and cohesive soils in confined spaces.
