When your project involves highway sub-bases or industrial foundations, lightweight equipment simply won't cut it. The Beton Trowel 20 Inch Reversible Plate Compactor is a 990 lb beast designed for the heaviest civil engineering applications. Generating an immense 11,240 lbs of centrifugal force, this machine drives deep into the soil profile, locking aggregate and eliminating settling risks for heavy-load structures. It allows you to achieve compaction density in fewer passes, saving significant time and fuel on large jobsites.
Handling a machine of this weight requires precision, which is why it features an advanced hydraulic reversing mechanism. Instead of struggling with mechanical cables, the operator uses a smooth hydraulic lever to instantly switch between forward and reverse travel. This allows for "spot compaction" on stubborn areas and ensures you can safely back the unit out of deep trenches or tight corners where turning around is physically impossible.
At the heart of this powerhouse is the Yanmar L100 diesel engine. Chosen for its industrial pedigree, this engine delivers high torque at lower RPMs, ensuring the eccentric weights maintain their 4,400 VPM frequency even under extreme load. For contractors running a diesel-only fleet, this engine simplifies logistics by eliminating the need to carry gasoline cans, ensuring your site remains compliant and efficient.
Longevity is built into the core of the machine with a base plate cast from high-strength ductile iron. Unlike standard steel which can fatigue and crack under 5 tons of impact force, ductile iron offers the resilience needed to survive years of pounding against sharp crushed rock and concrete. The Beton Trowel 20 Inch Reversible Plate Compactor is built to remain flat and effective for the long haul.
Transport and safety are critical for a half-ton machine. The unit is framed by a robust steel roll cage that protects the engine from accidental impact and rollover damage. Since you can't lift a 990-lb machine by hand, the frame features a heavy-duty lifting eye centered right at the balance point. This allows for safe, balanced lifting using a crane or excavator, which is the standard method for deploying a compactor of this size into trenches.
Despite its weight, the machine is surprisingly productive, capable of traveling at speeds up to 75 feet per minute. It can also climb and compact on grades up to 35%, making it versatile enough for embankment work and steep driveways. From the cast aluminum belt guard to the heavy-duty shock mounts, every component is engineered to withstand the punishment of heavy construction work.
11,240 lbs of Crushing Force
Delivers approximately 50 kN of impact energy, placing it in the heavy-industrial class suitable for highways, bridges, and large building foundations.
Yanmar L100 Diesel Engine
Powered by the high-output Yanmar L100, ensuring consistent performance and compatibility with jobsite diesel fuel tanks.
Hydraulic Reversing System
Utilizes a hydraulic control lever for effortless, instant direction changes, providing superior maneuverability for a machine of this weight class.
Ductile Iron Base Plate
Constructed with a massive ductile iron base that resists fracture and wear, essential for surviving the extreme forces generated by this unit.
Deep Compaction Capability
The combination of high weight (992 lbs) and high amplitude allows this machine to compact deeper lifts of soil than any standard plate compactor.
Reinforced Lifting Eye
Features a heavy-duty, centrally located hoist point integrated into the roll cage, enabling safe loading and unloading with heavy machinery.
Cast Aluminum Belt Guard
The clutch and V-belt are shielded by a rigid cast aluminum guard, which offers superior heat dissipation and impact protection compared to plastic covers.
Additional Options: Check out other Plate Compactors & Vibratory Rollers or other Beton Trowel options
