When you need to turn dirt and gravel into a stable surface, you need the power of a plate compactor. Plate compactors are machines equipped with heavy pieces of material that use powerful vibrations to compress the earth below them. Depending on your operation, you might not need a plate compactor every day, which makes rental a cost-effective option. With Foley Rents, your business can opt for an affordable rental that lets you test new equipment and get your job completed fast.
Foley Rents allows your business to rent plate compactors for days, weeks or months. The longer your business rents our equipment, the more significant the discount you'll receive. Get 24/7 phone and field support when you partner with Foley Rents for a plate compactor rental.
Foley Rents offers both reversible and non-reversible vibratory plates to meet specific work site requirements.
Browse All Plate CompactorsWalk-behind vibratory plates are engineered for the easy compaction of materials such as mixed soils, granular soils and well-graded aggregates. Where large plate compactor machinery and rollers are difficult to maneuver, walk-behind vibratory plates fit into tight spots to provide your job site with stable, well-compacted soil. Walk-behind vibratory plates are primarily used for landscaping and small to medium-sized projects such as driveways and sidewalks.
Renting a walk-behind vibratory plate is ideal for jobs that require light compaction rather than heavy-duty equipment. Standard non-reversible vibratory plates are less expensive than reversible walk-behind vibratory plates, but they are only able to move in a forward motion, which can make them difficult to use in certain jobs. However, standard walk-behind vibratory plates are less expensive, making them more cost-effective when you don't need the ability to move in reverse.
Walk-behind reversible vibratory plates are similar to standard walk-behind compactors, but they have slightly more power and are easier to maneuver in directions other than forward. This multidirectional capacity allows for them to compact soil at a greater depth, which is important for heavy-duty construction projects. Walk-behind reversible vibratory plates are the most powerful compaction you can get without an industrial-sized roller, but may be difficult to move in tight areas.
Despite their similar sizes, reversible and non-reversible vibratory plates can't be used for the same projects. If your job requires high power and heavy-duty compaction, a reversible plate will be able to give you what you need with the compromise of limited mobility. However, if your project requires moving around tight spaces, a non-reversible vibratory plate will serve you better. If you require more power than a plate compactor rental can provide, choose an industrial-sized roller.
