Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment (CP) features the MV224 in its lineup of forward and reversible plate compactors. The plate compactor is a gasoline model that is powerful, durable with outstanding resistance to wear and tear, and operates at a high speed for increased efficiency on the job site.
The model features a 19.7-in. (50 cm) plate width with a bottom plate that is made of Hardox 400 steel, a multi-use, abrasion-resistant steel at a hardness of 400 HBW (Brinell hardness). The steel plate resists wear while maintaining good bendability, according to the manufacturer.
The MV224 delivers nearly 8,100 lbs. of centrifugal force at 3,500 vibrations per minute and speeds up to 82 ft/min. (25 mpm). The Honda engine is protected by a heavy-duty frame.
With regulated speed and compaction depth, control of the forward and reversible movement is made easy. Vibration-dampened handles enable smooth, consistent operation that helps achieve optimum compaction levels.
