Diamond Tool Store offers Plate Compactors that move both forward and reverse for optimal soil compactions.
These are the ideal plate compactor machines for tampering or compaction soil, dirt, gravel, sand, and the ground.
FORWARD VS. REVERSE PLATE COMPACTORS
There are 2 main types of plate compactors: Forward, and Reversible. These types are operated similarly but have some different features to suit a variety of situations. The main difference between them is that a Reversible Plate Compactor can be driven forward and backward, while Forward Plates can only be operated while moving forward. Another difference is the amount of compaction force. Reversible Compactors tend to have larger units when needing to compact larger depths and increase productivity.
