PLATE COMPACTORS

Plate compactors are versatile construction tools essential for creating a solid foundation by compacting soil, gravel, sand, and asphalt. They feature a heavy, flat plate that vibrates rapidly, pressing down materials and eliminating air pockets to achieve maximum density. This process ensures smooth, level surfaces and enhances the stability and durability of any project.

Ideal for paving, landscaping, and trench work, plate compactors come in various sizes and power options to meet different job requirements. Smaller, lightweight models are perfect for confined spaces and smaller projects, while larger, more powerful units are ideal for extensive paving and heavy-duty construction work.

NZ Machine Hire is a premier source of equipment for all your landscaping, construction, and project needs. We offer a wide range of plate compactors for hire, along with many other machines. We pride ourselves on being a trustworthy machine hire company in Auckland, New Zealand, with a strong focus on customer service.
