4. Proper use
The plate compactor, for forward or reverse compac-
tion, applies energy to the loose soil or other materi-
als to increase its density and load bearing capacity,
mainly used for general road building projects, the
landscaping sector and in structural engineering.
The loose soil or particles are moved or rearranged
in a particular manner close to each other to avoid
any trapped air or voids. It increases the load bear-
ing capacity, decreases water seepage, prevents soil
settlement, reduces swelling, contraction of the soil
and prevents frost damage. It is ideal for compaction
of interlocking paving stones, trenches, landscaping
and maintenance.
