The Gentec GE980 Pin-On Hydraulic Plate Compactor delivers exceptional compaction force for granular and moderately cohesive soils, making it ideal for trenches, foundations, and slope work. Its GenPac operating system balances eccentric weight, amplitude, and vibration frequency to produce maximum centrifugal force efficiently. Designed for carriers weighing 34,000 to 66,000 pounds, this unit can also double as a pile driver for wood, steel, and sheet piling applications. Heavy rubber isolators protect the carrier boom from vibration, while the integrally mounted baseplate and eccentric housing eliminate bolt tightening for minimal maintenance.
