Multiquip Mikasa MVC88VTHW Forward Plate Compactor

19.7" Plate | 3,372 lbs Centrifugal Force | Honda GX160 Engine | Water Tank Included

Built for tough asphalt, granular soil, and hardscape compaction, the MVC88VTHW takes Multiquip’s best-selling plate compactor to the next level. Featuring an upgraded single-cast baseplate and eccentric housing, this unit lowers the center of gravity to boost travel speed by 12%, maximizing daily output while lowering hand-arm vibration for the operator.

Whether you are laying asphalt patches or prepping paver subbases, the integrated high-capacity water tank and industrial Honda GX160 powertrain ensure reliable, all-day performance on demanding job sites.

Key Advantages

  • Single-Cast Durability: Integrated baseplate and eccentric housing eliminates bolt stress points, enhances structural strength, and speeds up routine service.

  • Honda GX160 Reliability: Smooth, fast pull starts with integrated low-oil shutoff to protect your investment.

  • Dual Cyclonic Pre-Cleaner: Traps fine airborne dust and abrasive debris before it reaches the filter, drastically extending maintenance intervals.

  • Integrated Hour/Tachometer: Accurately track engine RPM and operational runtime to keep preventive maintenance on schedule.

  • Superior Asphalt Finish: Includes a tool-free, removable 13.7-quart water tank—the largest in its class—to prevent asphalt sticking.

  • Reduced Operator Fatigue: Advanced anti-vibration handle design absorbs shock without sacrificing maneuverability.

  • Reinforced Protection: Heavy-gauge tubular steel cage shields core components and doubles as a balanced central lifting hook.
