This series of economical vibratory plates, the GP12, GP15 & GP18, are portable and offer outstanding compaction performance.
A patent-pending suspension system that places shock mounts in a predominantly shear mode at the high amplitude front end of the plate and a predominantly compressive mode at the low amplitude trailing end of the plate. This system reduces hand-arm vibration and also better isolates all upper mass components, including the engine, from vibrations produced by the machine's exciter.
With amplitudes up to .058 includes, centrifugal force up to 2100 lbf and travel speed to 75 feet per minute these plates are ideal in confined areas of granular soils including sands, bank run, gravels and capable of achieving lift depths of up to 10 inches (25cm).
These lightweight plates weighing 129lbs (59kg) to 174lbs (79kg) are easy to lift and manoeuvre about the job site. Accompanied by intense vibration this series of plates are ideally suited as an economical alternative for small to medium soil compaction applications.
