The Gentec GE870 pin-on hydraulic plate compactor delivers exceptional compaction force for carriers in the 4,000 to 14,500 lb weight class. Its optimized eccentric system pairs maximum weight with precise amplitude and frequency to achieve 95% or greater Mod Proctor Density in granular and moderately cohesive soils, making it ideal for trenches, foundations, and slope work.

This attachment doubles as a powerful vibratory driver for posts, beams, sheet piling, and seawalls. An integrally mounted baseplate and eccentric housing eliminate bolt loosening, while heavy rubber isolators protect your carrier boom. A machine-specific pin kit is required and sold separately.
