We Rent Reversible Plate Compactors

A reversible plate compactor is a powerful tool designed for compacting soil, gravel, sand, and asphalt in construction, landscaping, and paving projects. Unlike standard forward-only plate compactors, a reversible plate compactor can move both forward and in reverse, allowing for greater control, efficiency, and deeper compaction in confined areas.

Our rental reversible compactors provide a maximum of 6,070 lbs. of impact, feature vibration-isolated handles for operator comfort and steel frames with lift handles and/or lift eyes for easy transport. We make it easier to transport with wheel kits.

Compaction is a crucial step for the quality and longevity of a patio or walkway. Most projects requires soil that is sufficiently compacted for a firm, dense support base. Using the proper equipment will prevent an uneven installation, safety hazards and the need for frequent repairs.

Why Rent a Reversible Plate Compactor?

Superior Compaction Power – Perfect for driveways, patios, walkways, and foundation prep.
Forward & Reverse Motion – Easily maneuver in tight spaces or trenches.
Deep Soil Compaction – Handles thicker layers of material with fewer passes.
Ideal for Various Materials – Works on gravel, sand, crushed stone, and asphalt.
Less Operator Fatigue – More control & efficiency compared to traditional compactors.
Better Compaction Depth – Up to 22″ deep , depending on soil conditions.

Helpful Hint:
Start compacting from the center and work your way out to the edges

Note:
Plate compactors weigh about 330 pounds and you will need a pickup truck, trailer to transport.
