Hydraulic Plate Compactor GE980F

Fitment

1. Machine Weight Class: between 34,000 and 66,000 lbs
2. A bolt-on headplate must be purchased separately to match your specific machine quick coupler.
3. If your machine does not have a quick coupler, have a look at the GE980 compactor.

Application

The GE980F is designed to compact granular and moderately cohesive soils. It utilizes a unique operating system that combines maximum eccentric weight with precise proportions of amplitude and vibration frequency, resulting in exceptional centrifugal force. This enables it to compact soil to a Mod Proctor Density of 95% or better, making it highly effective for various applications such as compacting soil in trenches, foundations, and slopes.

Vibratory Driving

The GE980F can be used as a vibratory pile driver or post driver in suitable granular soil. It provides a faster and more cost-effective technique for driving materials such as wood, steel, vinyl, and aluminum sheeting, H and I beams, piling, posts, and seawalls. The GE980F transmits vibrations along the length of the item being driven, breaking the skin friction that slows down the driving process. The vibration, combined with the impulse force of the GE980F and the down pressure from the carrier, makes it an efficient driver of beams, posts, seawalls, and piling.

Minimum Maintenance

The GE980F demands minimal maintenance, maximizing uptime and productivity. The baseplate and eccentric housing are integrally mounted, eliminating the need for bolt tightening. Heavy rubber isolators prevent vibrations from reaching the carrier boom. Fast and easy installation is assured, thanks to complete mounting kits that allow for a simple matching of the hydraulic attachment to the carrier. Install the GE980F in place of the bucket, and you're ready to go in minutes.
