AP1400 shown with roll cage & water tank The lightweight, highly portable GP1800

The 1400 Series of vibratory plates are portable, economical and offer outstanding performance. Ideally suited for confined areas of sand and gravel, the GP1400 is capable of achieving acceptable density to lift depths of 10 inches (25 cm). The lightweight design, accompanied by intense vibration, allows the GP1400 series to be used for placing interlocking paving stones. The removable handle allows for convenient transport in any vehicle. Roll cage and water tank is standard equipment on AP1400 for asphalt applications.

The lightweight, highly portable 1800 Series of vibratory plates offers an economical alternative for small to medium soil applications. These plates are ideally suited for confined areas of sand and gravel and are capable of achieving acceptable density to lifts of up to 12 inches (30 cm). Available with either Honda or Robin engines and optional roll cage.

  • Optional neoprene paving pad accessory for interlocking paving blocks
  • One piece exciter with self cleaning open plate housing design
