5.5 HP Honda Vibratory Plate Compactor for Soil Asphalt Paver Compaction

Description: DescriptionThe TOMAHAWK® TPC85H plate compactor is a robust and versatile tool designed forcompacting various types of soil, gravel, and asphalt surfaces. Its primary intended use is toachieve maximum compaction efficiency and stability in a wide range of construction andlandscaping projects. Building a solid foundation enhances the durability and longevity ofroads, driveways, sidewalks, and other paved areas. Its ergonomic design andmaneuverability enable it to navigate tight spaces and uneven terrain, making it suitable forboth residential and commercial applications.

Tamping rammers and compactors are used to increase the density of soil by reducing air voids, which help to improve soil stability, support structures, and prevent settling. With so many options on the market, choosing the right plate compactor can be a daunting task. Small JobsIf you are installing artificial turf, building dirt pathways, or need to improve soil stability - but do not need to adhere to a minimum compaction rating you can use a compactor in the 110 lbs (50 kilo) range. These are great for anyone looking to get a job done by themselves with little headache.Medium JobsIf your project involves building a retaining wall, patio, driveway, sidewalk, or concrete slab you will need a bit more muscle. Rammers and compactors in the 130-200 lbs (60-90 kilo) range that can achieve a compaction force above 3,000 lbs²/ft are best. You will achieve 98-100% compaction ratings needed for proper compaction to prevent soil settling and foundation damage. Large JobsEquipment needed for large compaction projects should also be able to achieve a minimum compaction force of 3,000 lbs²/ft to reach 98-100% compaction ratings needed for proper compaction. Where this equipment differs from medium range equipment is it's efficiency. Large jobs are typically performed by professional contractors where speed and jobsite efficiency are critical to their success. Compactors that help jobsite efficiency may feature reverse control, hydraulic drive, and the ability to compact asphalt. If you are not too worried about the time it takes to complete a project, you can save a few bucks and invest in equipment in the medium range.CA Proposition 65 Warning⚠ WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer.
