Mikasa MVC40HR Plate Compactor – Compact Power and Precision The Mikasa MVC40HR plate compactor is a professional-grade machine engineered for reliability, efficiency, and ease of use. Featuring a compact 300mm base plate and powered by the trusted Honda GXR120 petrol engine, this model is perfect for tight spaces and small-scale compaction tasks such as patching asphalt, compacting granular soils, and working on narrow pathways. Recognised throughout the industry as the standard for lightweight compaction, the MVC40HR offers exceptional performance in a portable package. The robust plate compactor features a solid high-strength steel base for long-term durability and an open plate design to make clearing debris quick and easy. A sealed belt cover further protects the internal components from dirt and rock ingress, helping to extend the life of your investment. Engineered with user comfort in mind, this plate compactor includes an anti-vibration handle to reduce operator fatigue, enhancing productivity over long working periods. The machine’s folding handle makes for convenient storage and transport, and its integrated tubular steel roll bar protects key components while serving as a handy central lifting point. Additional premium features include a cyclonic air pre-cleaner, which captures airborne contaminants before they reach the engine, and a removable, tool-free water tank that’s ideal for use on asphalt. The cog-tooth belt drive offers superior longevity compared to traditional V-belts, while the front-mounted exciter ensures easy maintenance access. Weighing in at just 51kg, the Mikasa MVC40HR is a highly manoeuvrable, powerful plate compactor suitable for landscapers, builders, and contractors who demand top performance in confined spaces.
