How to use the vibratory plate

The plate compacts by high-frequency vibration: ideal for granular soil, base, pavers and open areas. Fast and even.

In the meantime, follow the step-by-step guide.

  1. 01

    Pre-start check

    Engine oil, air filter and a clean base plate. If it has a water tank for asphalt, fill it.

  2. 02

    Start and go full throttle

    Like the rammer: half throttle skids. At full throttle the vibration is right and the plate self-propels.

  3. 03

    Travel straight and overlap

    Compact in straight lanes overlapping ~15 cm. Start at the edges and close toward the center.

  4. 04

    Thin lifts, several passes

    Granular: 20–30 cm lifts, 3–4 passes. On pavers, use the urethane mat so you don't scuff the block.

  5. 05

    On asphalt, water is a must

    Open the sprinkler so hot asphalt won't stick to the plate. Gentle passes until it's sealed.

Do this

  • Always run full throttle for the correct frequency.
  • For pavers, urethane mat and joint sand.
  • Make sure the plate isn't dragging large stones that hammer it.

Avoid this

  • Don't use it on clay/silt: cohesive soil ignores vibration.
  • Don't compact thick lifts — the bottom stays loose.
  • On asphalt, never run with the sprinkler closed.

Safety

  • Hearing protection, glasses, gloves and steel-toe boots.
  • Firm grip on the handle; keep hands and feet from under the plate.
  • On a slope, work top-to-bottom, never across it.
