MIKASA MVH-308GH soil compactor, Honda GX270 engine

Plate Compactor MIKASA MVH-308GH Honda GX270 Engine
The MIKASA MVH-308GH reversible plate compactor is a premium-grade machine from Mikasa Sangyo Co., Ltd., engineered for highly efficient compaction of various materials including sand, gravel, clay, and other highly dense soils. This model stands out with its smooth forward and reverse drivability, making it ideal for compacting in confined spaces or deep trenches that require flexible movement without having to turn the machine around frequently.

Powered by a powerful and reliable Honda GX270 gasoline engine, it delivers a maximum output of 6.3 kW (8.6 PS) and a centrifugal force of up to 45.0 kN. The machine weighs 310 kg (expandable to 325 kg when fitted with extension plates), providing high compaction efficiency. Key highlights of the MVH-308GH include the patented VAS (Vibration Absorbing System) handle, which significantly reduces vibration transmitted to the operator's hands and arms, increasing working comfort and reducing long-term fatigue. It also features a Cyclone air cleaner system that effectively extends engine life and reduces maintenance frequency.

This model also comes equipped with a patented forward/reverse control lever with a streamlined design for smooth directional changes, a durable integrated vibrating plate, and a single-point lifting hook for convenient and safe transport. In addition, it features a built-in Tachometer and Hour Meter to assist in engine RPM management and efficient maintenance schedules, with an option to install extension plates to expand the compaction area according to job requirements.
