How do I choose the right plate compactor for my project?

Selection depends primarily on the compaction force needed for your soil type and lift depth, the plate size relative to your working area, and whether you need forward-only or reversible operation for trench work. Granular soils generally need higher frequency vibration while cohesive soils benefit from higher impact force. Getting this match wrong leads to either under-compaction or unnecessary equipment wear from overworking an undersized unit. Sparkline Group's team can advise on the right compactor specification based on your soil report and project requirements.
