Products Description
Gentec Equipment Pin-On Hydraulic Plate Compactor | Model GE870 & GE980 | Bottom Plate 21" & 40" | Machine Size 1.5–29 Tons | For Excavators
DESCRIPTION
Gentec’s Pin‑On Hydraulic Plate Compactors are engineered for contractors who demand maximum compaction efficiency, versatility, and durability. Designed for excavators across multiple weight classes, these compactors combine maximum eccentric weight with precise proportions of amplitude and vibration frequency to deliver exceptional centrifugal force. This enables soil compaction to a Mod Proctor Density of 95% or better, making them ideal for trenching, foundations, and slope work.
Beyond compaction, Gentec compactors double as vibratory pile drivers, efficiently driving posts, beams, seawalls, and sheeting by transmitting vibration along the length of the material to break skin friction. Built with heavy rubber isolators to protect the carrier boom and integrally mounted baseplates for minimal maintenance, Gentec compactors maximize uptime and productivity. With over 35 years of experience and more than 50,000 satisfied clients, Gentec delivers attachments that combine rugged strength, efficiency, and long‑term value.
